Čelik Zenica

Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Čelik won the first three championships of independent Bosnia but financial problems eventually sent one of the country's best-supported clubs into the lower leagues. Supporters helped rebuild it from the bottom, and promotion has put Zenica back in the Premier League for 2026/27. Complete one of the Balkans' best fan-led comebacks.
