NK Pomorac 1921 is a Croatianfootball club based inKostrena, a suburb ofRijeka which currently plays in Croatian third tier3. HNL West. The town of Kostrena is known for its maritime tradition, which is reflected in the club's name, as the word "pomorac" means "mariner" or "seaman" in English.
Since the independence ofCroatia in 1992 NK Pomorac played inCroatian Third Football League until the 1995–96 season, when they were promoted to theDruga HNL.
