NK Dugopolje is a Croatian football club based in the town of Dugopolje on the outskirts of Split, a city on the Adriatic coast. They were founded in 1952, and they currently play in the Croatian Second Football League, Croatian second level.

Since 2009 Dugopolje host their home matches at the newly built Stadion Hrvatski vitezovi (English: Croatian Knights Stadium), which has a capacity of 5,200. The stadium meets strict UEFA standards and holds a licence for UEFA competitions.[1]

The 2009–10 season was a successful one for Dugopolje as they finished top of the 3. HNL South and were promoted to the Croatian Second Football League. In their first season in the second division of Croatian football, Dugopolje finished in a respectable eighth position out of sixteen sides. In the following season, Dugopolje finished in first place, qualifying for promotion to the Prva HNL, the first division of football in Croatia, but were denied a licence for the top division due to numerous issues and remained in the second level. The 2012–13 season witnessed a large restructuring of football in Croatia and that season, 7 out of 16 sides were to be relegated to accommodate for a reduction in the amount of sides in the 1st division from 16 to 12. Dugopolje survived, finishing in 8th place, two places clear of relegation. In the 2013–14 season, with a reduced number of teams in the top and second division, the competition was much stronger than previously and Dugopolje struggled and just avoided relegation.
