Stadium

Novi Pazar City Stadium

The stadium holds 12.000 people. It is made out of terraces on the eastern and the western side of the ground, and is currently without seats, although the seats are planned to be put in place by the spring of 2008.

Novi Pazar City Stadium has always been a tough ground for the opposition. It is one of the last few stadiums on the territory of the former Yugoslavia where excellent attendance is still present. Even though second division has been the biggest success in the history of FK Novi Pazar, its stadium has been in the top five in the country for attendance since the breakup of Yugoslavia. Amazing atmosphere and organized support has been present since the 1980s. In those days, the news reporters described these home matches as "the unheard of" for such a small city, and compared the supporters to the famous "Torcida Split". FK Novi Pazar's support in those days were the "Pazarci", or the supporters of Novi Pazar. Although they were well organized, they cannot be called real supporters. First organized group of supporters in Novi Pazar started in 1984, under the name "Blue Hunters". FK Novi Pazar was always "at the threshold" of the Yugoslav First League and these supporters traveled with the club around the country. While organized groups were being formed all over the country in the 1980s, a few more groups were formed in Novi Pazar. "Fighters" in 1987, "Pirates", "Eagles", and "Blue Girls" in 1988, and "Blue Warriors" in 1989. As nationalism started growing in the country before the breakup and the wars, it came to Novi Pazar, the capital of the region of Sandžak, as well. The name "Sandžak" represents a region in Serbia and Montenegro populated by Bosniaks, and it derives its name from the Sanjak of Novi Pazar, a former Ottoman administrative district that existed until the Balkan Wars of 1912. During Communism, this name was made illegal and everything was done for it to be forgotten. As Communism fell, and nationalism grew, the supporters decided to all come together and form one group under the name "Torcida Sandzak". The name "Torcida" was taken from well known supporter groups in Brazil, Croatia, and elsewhere in Europe, and the name "Sandžak" was taken to represent the city and the region, and to represent something unique only for that Torcida. From that day forward, Torcida Sandžak has been present at home and away matches of FK Novi Pazar and was considered as the protector of Novi Pazar during the wars. Torcida Sandžak's motto is "Na braniku grada - nekada i sada!", which means "Defending the city - then and now!"
