Nogometno Društvo Gorica, commonly referred to as ND Gorica or simply Gorica, is a Slovenian football club, playing in the town of Nova Gorica. They are one of the most successful Slovenian clubs with four Slovenian League, three Slovenian Cups and one Slovenian Supercup titles. Together with Maribor and Celje they are the only club that have participated in every season of the Slovenian PrvaLiga since its formation in 1991. The club plays its matches at the Nova Gorica Sports Park stadium with the capacity of 3,100 seats.
The history of Slovenian association football in the Goriška region goes back to the year 1907, when the first football club "Jugoslavija" was formed by the Slovenes of Gorizia.
October 1947 marks the beginning of the club with the foundation of "Gorica Physical Culture Club" in Šempeter pri Gorici, where it operated until 1963, when it merged with Branik Solkan and the club's activity was transferred to Nova Gorica, which has remained its seat ever since.
After the independence of Slovenia in 1991, the club played in the 1. SNL under the name HIT Gorica and during the 1995–96 season, Gorica won the Slovenian league title for the first time. In the next season, the club played its first Slovenian Supercup final and won their second trophy with a 3–1 victory over Olimpija. During the league domination of Maribor, the club managed to win two Slovenian cup titles in a row (2000–01 and 2001–02).
