FK Pobeda AD Prilep (Macedonian: ФК Победа АД Прилеп) is a football club based in the city of Prilep, North Macedonia. They are currently competing in the Macedonian Second League.

History

The club was founded in 2010 as Viktorija (eventually renaming to Pobeda Junior) after the FK Pobeda was banned by FIFA for eight years.[1] Legally, the two clubs' track records and honors are kept separate by the Football Federation of Macedonia.

In 2015, Pobeda Junior was renamed to match the name of the old club that was suspended, Pobeda.[2]

The club was promoted to the Macedonian First League for the first time after finishing 1st in the 2015–16 Macedonian Second League. The club managed to stay in the First League for 3 seasons until it was relegated in the 2018-19 Macedonian First League, finishing in 10th.

Pobeda eventually returned to the First League after winning the Eastern group of the 2021–22 Macedonian Second League.
