Nomakoa Rovers Football Club (Gjorkan: Club Caid Rovers Nomakoa) is a Gjorkan professional football club based in Nomakoa, Gjorka. The club competes in the Gold League, and is one of the most successful teams in the league. The Rovers have won the league the second most times with 16 league Gold League titles. The club is also one of five teams in the Gold League to never have been relegated. The club's main rival is Nomakoa United, but the club also maintains rivalries with Gjorka City Athletic, and Gjorka City Union

The club was founded in 1889 by local dockyard owner Patrick Ewing as a recreational club for his workers. The club eventually expanded to non-dockyard employees and became the first prominent club within the Nomakoa area. In 1935 following the formation of the Gold League, the club hit a rough patch and survived relegation by one place in three separate seasons. In 1942 the club was purchased by David Darroch who returned the club to form, with them winning their first league title in 1946. The club has remained owned by the Darroch family since then.
