History
NK Zagora was founded in 1948.[1]
One of the club's most significant moments came in its cup runs in 2007-08. Zagora won the 2007 county cup, in which scorer Ivica Šupe was given a lamb for his efforts.[2] The county cup qualified them for the national cup, where Zagora made a run to the quarterfinal. Šupe, a postman, would score twice in Zagora's 7-2 two-legged quarterfinal loss against Dinamo Zagreb. Šupe would clarify that Zagora "did not play for lambs."[3]
