Gradski stadion Pazin

The club, **NK Pazinka**, has spent most of its history in the lower tiers. They played in the **Croatian First Football League (1. HNL)** for two seasons in the early nineties. In 1992–93, they finished 11th out of 16 teams. The following year, they struggled near the bottom and were relegated, marking the end of their brief time in the top division. Since then, they have settled into the **Treća HNL Zapad**, the fourth tier, where they play every weekend against neighbours who know the ground just as well.

The facility itself is functional, managed by **Pazin Sport d.o.o.** since 2016. A floodlight system allows for evening fixtures, though the hills ensure that evenings here can be cold even in summer. The surface is natural grass, marked out clearly for a game that rarely sees the media attention reserved for the giants of Zagreb. The stands hold about 2,500 people, but on a Tuesday night in November, you would be lucky to see half that number. The rest of the town carries on, aware that this patch of turf is the only place in Pazin where the whole community might gather to watch a match.
