KF Renova () is a football club based in the village of Džepčište, Tetovo Municipality, North Macedonia. They recently competed in the Macedonian Third League (West Division).
History FK Renova was founded in 2003 but was derived from the football school established in 2000. As a result of successful work in 2003, the people from Džepčište began to invest in this school of football. Since then, the football school was named Renova, after the Džepčište based manufacturing company, which invested the most to the club. Renova then merged with the Tetovo club FK Shkumbini and was initiated into the Macedonian Third League.
In the club's first season, they came first in the league. To achieve promotion into the second league, Renova had to beat Vardar from Negotino. Renova won the game via penalty shootout. In the 2004–2005 season, Renova achieved second position, allowing the club to move up to the Macedonian First League.
In the 2009-10 season, Renova won the Macedonian First League title, being the youngest Macedonian football club to do so. Two years later they won their first Macedonian Cup title by defeating Rabotnički 3–1 in the final.КУП: 20-тото јубилејно финале за Ренова
In July 2022, Renova withdrew from the First Macedonian Football League due to financial reasons. From the 2022–23 season, they restarted from the Macedonian Regional Football Leagues. But achieved promotion to the Macedonian Third Football League in the 2023-24 season where they competed until the 2025-26 season, withdrawing again at the end of the season back to the regional league.
