In its long history, FK Partizan won as many as 37 trophies. The club is the holder of 23 national championships, 12 national cups and 1 national supercup, and has also won the Mitropa Cup in 1978. It holds records such as playing in the first European Champions' Cup match in 1955,[1] becoming the first Eastern European club to play in the European Champions' Cup final in 1966, and becoming the first club from Serbia to take part in the UEFA Champions League group stages. It is a major part of the Sports Association Partizan. The second division team FK Teleoptik is also owned by Partizan. According to a recent poll, FK Partizan is the second most popular football club in Serbia behind rivals Red Star Belgrade, with 32.2 percent of the population supporting the club.[2]

Club history

Early years (1945-1958)

Partizan was founded on October 4, 1945,[3] as part of the Yugoslav Sports Association, and was named after the Partisans, the communist military formation during the World War II in Yugoslavia. The club was initially formed under the Yugoslav People's Army, and the stadium was named Stadion JNA (Stadium of Yugoslav People's Army). In the early 50s, the club became independent from the Army. The first step on the path of success was made two days after its establishment, the match with the selection of Zemun, which ended 4-2. In history then entered Florijan Matekalo, the first scorer in the history of Partizan. The first championship was won in the 1947, also and the first "double crown". Champion squad in that year was Stjepan Bobek, Miroslav Brozović, Bela Palfi, Zlatko Čajkovski, Kiril Simonovski, Franjo Rupnik, Prvoslav Mihajlović, Aleksandar Atanacković, Milivoje Đurđević, Franjo Glazer, Stanislav Popesku, Miodrag Jovanović, Silvester Šereš, Florijan Matekalo, Jane Janevski, Risto Nikolić, Vladimir Firm, Momčilo Radunović, Ratko Čolić, Stevan Jakuš, Franjo Šoštarić, Šepe Šutevski with coach Illés Spitz. However, after the new championship title in 1949, second in its history, Partizan had a long break without a trophy. Partizan played his first international match on December 6, 1945, against CSKA Moscow and participated in the first ever Champions Cup match, that took place on September 3, 1955 in Lisbon against Sporting CP. The final result was 3–3.

The Partizan's babes (1958 - 1966)

In 1958, club left way behind 13 years of games in blue-red combination and took the now legendary black and white colors. From 1962 to 1965, Partizan took 3 championship titles, two consecutive, in 1962 and 1963, and next one in 1965 with great players from his Youth Academy known as Partizanove bebe (The Partizan's babes). These players were Tomislav Kaloperović, Ivan Ćurković, Milutin Šoškić, Velibor Vasović, Branko Rašović, Fahrudin Jusufi, Milan Galić, Vladica Kovačević, Lazar Radović, Jovan Miladinović, Josip Pirmajer, Velimir Sombolac, Mustafa Hasanagić, Bora Milutinović, Bruno Belin, Ilija Mitić, Milorad Milutinović and Miodrag Petrović. Many of these great players achieve the greatest success in history of Partizan, a place in 1966 European Cup final against the famous Real Madrid. At one point, Partizan was 1–0 up (goal by Velibor Vasović), only to lose to the Spaniards 2–1 at the end. On the way to the finals Partizan beat Nantes (2-0, 2-2), Werder Bremen (3-0, 1-0), Sparta Prague (4-1, 5-0) in quarterfinals and Manchester United (2-0, 1-0) in semifinals. Partizan also became the first club from Eastern Europe to have played in a European Cup final. The cause of the defeat in the finals was that none of them did not expect to get so far in the competition so they were more than satisfied with achievement. Also, many players have already signed contracts with the strongest European teams after the semifinal.

After 5 years of waiting Partizan again won the championship in 1983. One of Partizan's most notable players in that year and ever was Dragan Mance. He helped Partizan to win the title by scoring 15 goals. Also, he led the club in their 1984–85 UEFA Cup second round tie against English side Queens Park Rangers, one of the most memorable matches in the club's history. QPR won the first leg 6–2, but Partizan advanced after a 4–0 return victory. That match was voted on the 70th position among Top 100 greatest matches in the history of football, in a poll organized by Eurosport in September 2009.[4] Mance died September 3, 1985 in a car crash at the peak of his popularity. He was only 22 years old at the time. Also, one street in Belgrade carries his name.[5] Its tenth anniversary title Partizan wins in 1986. Next one and the last in SFR Yugoslavia was next season in 1987. One of the players contributed in winning the championship was Milko Đurovski.

After the breakup of SFR Yugoslavia Partizan won two titles in a row in 1992 and 1993. Next three championships Partizan won in 1996, 1997 and 1999. The key man for these trophies was Ljubiša Tumbaković. He became the most successful manager in the history of Partizan.

Partizan vs. Real Madrid in the Champions League in 2003.

In the last 11 years, Partizan has won 7 national championships (2001–02, 2002–03, 2004–05, 2007–08, 2008–09, 2009–10, 2010–11), 4 cups and managed to qualify two times for the UEFA Champions League. First time, the club played in the 2003–04 Champions League, after eliminating Newcastle United. Partizan was drawn in a tough group with Real Madrid, FC Porto (actual winner of the UEFA Cup and the eventual winner of the competition) and Olympique de Marseille (eventual runner-up of the UEFA Cup). The team never lost a home game, playing 0–0 with Real Madrid, and 1–1 with FC Porto and Olympique de Marseille while playing some inspired football in the away match in Madrid (0-1), Marseille (0-3) and Porto (1-2). They are the first, and so far the only Serbian team to qualify for the main draw of this elite European club competition since its inception in 1992. For the second time he qualified for the 2010-11 UEFA Champions League after beating RSC Anderlecht. Now, the draw for the group phase decided that Partizan will play in group H, alongside Arsenal F.C., Shakhtar Donetsk and S.C. Braga. On matchday 1, Partizan lost against Shakhtar on Donbass Arena in Donetsk - 0-1 (0-0). Next game Partizan played against Arsenal at Partizan Stadium and lost 1-3 (1-1), after they played inspired football with a 10 man in last 30 min's of the match. In two matches against Braga, Partizan failed to score and they lost both games (0-2 in Braga; 0-1 in Belgrade). The last two rounds in the group have also brought inspired football, but unfortunately it wasn't enough so Shakhtar Donetsk and Arsenal defeated Partizan once again, 0-3 (0-0) in Belgrade and 1-3 (0-1) at the Emirates Stadium.

In the 2004–05 UEFA Cup, Partizan reached the round-of-16 in the UEFA Cup, where it was eliminated by CSKA Moscow, the eventual winner of the competition. In the 2007–08 UEFA Cup qualifying stages, Partizan was expelled and fined €30,056 due to crowd trouble, after fighting broke out with opponent fans during their qualifying match against HŠK Zrinjski Mostar, and after beating them by an aggregate score of 11–1.[6] Seasons 2007–08 and 2008–09 will remain as one of the most successful in club's domestic history. In season 2008–09 the club successfully defended their league and cup double from 2007–08 season, for the first time in its history. On July 21, 2009, Partizan demolished Welsh champions Rhyl, with a score of 8–0 (12–0 on agg.) This score is their largest ever winning margin in European competitions.

Many players contributed to these successes, some of them are Mladen Krstajić, Saša Ilić, Ivica Iliev, Zvonimir Vukić, Igor Duljaj, Vladimir Ivić, Danko Lazović, Andrija Delibašić, Milan Smiljanić, Zoran Tošić, Stevan Jovetić, Nenad Đorđević, Radosav Petrović, Almami Moreira, Lamine Diarra, Cléo and many. The club is still a member of the same sports association, which includes 25 clubs in different sports, as well as the Football Association of Serbia, but it has complete independence regarding organisation, management, finances, material goods and facilities.

Club colours and crest

Colours

Until the 70s of the 20th century all clubs from Europe did not wear jerseys of famous manufacturers. It is known that the first manufacturer of sports equipment that highlighted its logo on the jersey was the Admiral (Leeds United's uniform) in the 1973. In the mid-70s Partizan equipment consisted of prevail striped or plain white jerseys with a collar, with Adidas shorts. The late 70's (1977, 1978) Partizan often carries a set of Adidas gear, mostly in white. From season 1978–79 Partizan's first long contract with "Sport" sport manufacturer from Belgrade. Cooperation with the "Sport" manufacturer lasts until early spring season of 1982–83, when Partizan returns to "Adidas", wearing striped jerseys usually with thin lines. By the end of the 80's, shorts was almost always white, like socks. Adidas only changed the design of shirt collar and color sleeve. Since 1983–85 were white, and then the 1985–86 and 1986–87 black, returning to the white sleeves was in the late 1987. In early 1990, Partizan left "Adidas" after 7 years and entered into a contract with an anonymous Swiss sport manufacturer "Vocado". Next season, "Vocado" goes the classic striped shirts, it's a jersey in which Partizan won the Cup in 1992. It remains to remember the first red and blue jersey after more than 30 years, carried in Malta against Hibernian in the UEFA Cup in 1990. The following sanctions and an inability to find well-known foreign sponsor, and Partizan then carries all sorts of sport kits - "Admiral", and then the derby in 1993 with a set of white Diadora gear, then the derby at home venue in the Umbro equipment. For 1994-95 season a new technical sponsor was the Japanese Asics then since 1996–97 sponsor was Nike. Nike releases a new 1998–99 season jersey, mainly white with a blue set of applications on the collar. In spring 2000, Partizan exceeds with the local "NAAI", and afterwards from 2000–01 contracted with Puma sport manufacturer. Striped jerseys were quite identical as the Nike jerseys from the 1996–97 and 1997–98 season. Later on, club moved to the Kappa jerseys. In the first season, the stripes on the jersey were thin and then moved to wide. All this time there was a spare and lots of variants - gray, red and blue, white and black jerseys. In the 2010–11 season Partizan returned to tradition with the most powerful global brand - Adidas.[7]

Crest

The first crest carried by Partizan had only abbreviation JA - Jugoslovenska Armija (The Yugoslav Army). It was a blue circle with a red five-pointed star edged in yellow with the letters JA inside it. Soon, no one knows exactly when, the crest is experiencing great changes and begins to take shape known to the current solution. Central circle is white with a red five-pointed star in it, in a blue circle in which the white letters written - The Yugoslav Army and both are bordered by a yellow circle and over the circle is a green wreath. At the bottom of the emblem are red and white lines, and on the top is red torchlight. The emblem is actually a clear association with the crest of the former state - Yugoslavia, with the difference as the torch and stars on the Partizan crest replaced places. This emblem club use since 1947. Fifties, there is a small change in the emblem of Partizan but significant, where for the first time inserted team name in yellow outer circle and written in Cyrillic and Latin. Separated from the Army, Partizan Belgrade receives a new crest. The inscription of the Yugoslav Army is disappearing from the crest and it was replaced by Sports association. This emblem has a "shelf life" until 1958, when Partizan changed his club colors of blue and red to black and white, very original and previously unknown on the football sky of former Yugoslavia. Then the Sport Society adds Yugoslav adjective, and the color emblem is drastically changing. Complete crest becomes black and white, with red torch and five-pointed star, while the line at the bottom of crest cross in black and white. So Partizan wear this emblem mostly in its history, the emblem that has become a real brand and a symbol of Partizan. From 1992, Yugoslavia ceased to exist and instead of Jugoslovensko Sportsko Društvo (Yugoslav Sports Association) in a black circle on the crest for the first time was inserted - Football club and this emblem remains unchanged to date. In the 2007–08 season Partizan won its 20th championship and added two stars on the top of the emblem as the symbol for 20 and more titles. Author of the Partizan crest is academic painter Branko Šotra. Parallel with this crest there is an alternative emblem, Partizan supporters popularly called it "lopata" (shovel). This emblem found its place only on tickets, souvenirs, annual tickets and club brochures, but never sewn on the jersey of FK Partizan.[8]

Club fans

Grobari at the south stand of Partizan Stadium

First groups of organized supporters began to visit the JNA stadium in the late 1950s. Those were mainly young men from Belgrade, and they occupied southern stands of the stadium. In those times, support was expressed by loud singing as well as polling of referees and opposite team's players.

Partizan's participation in the European Cup final in 1966 attracted much more fans to the stadium, and is considered to be the crucial moment of the organized fans moving to a south stand of the stadium where they are gathering up to this day. Partizan's supporters, Grobari (The Gravediggers), were formed in 1970. The nickname itself was given by their biggest rivals (Delije of Red Star Belgrade), referring to the club's mostly black colors which were similar to the official uniforms of cemetery undertakers. The other theory is that the name arrives from Partizan's stadium street name - Humska (Graves). They support all clubs in the Sports Association Partizan. In 1999, the organized supporters who traditionally occupy the south stands at the stadium split into two groups. The newly formed group named Južni Front (South Front) accused several top members of the Grobari organization for abusing their privileges, and the club itself for favoring those individuals. In 2006, they settled their differences and today there are three major fan groups: Južni Front, Grobari 1970 and Grobari Beograd. From 2005 until 2007, fan groups boycotted all Partizan matches until former sports director Bjeković and general secretary Zečević resigned, which was their main goal. Bjeković finally resigned in May and Zečević in September 2007. As a result of their demands being accepted, the Grobari returned to the stands of Partizan Stadium. Grobari have become recognizable by brilliant choreographies, noisy cheering and their loyalty to the club. Danny Dyer featured the Grobari on the Real Football Factories International show. In the episode he labelled the Grobari as a group willing to do anything for the respect of the club.[10] Notable fans include Serbian President Boris Tadić[11] and filmmaker Emir Kusturica.[12]

Stadium

The club's stadium is now named Stadion FK Partizan, although it was known as Stadion JNA (Stadium of the Yugoslav People's Army) for most of its history, and is still sometimes called that. The stadium seated approximately 55,000 people before UEFA's law of having seats across the entire stadium. The stadium was used from the mid-fifties until 1987 as the final point of yearly festivities called the Day of Youth. Each year on May 25, the baton of the Relay of Youth was finally passed into the hands of Josip Broz Tito, president of Yugoslavia. The playing field measures 105 x 70 m, and is illuminated at 1,400 lux. The current capacity is 32,710 people.[13]

The current stadium is expected to be redesigned by Swiss firm Mob Lab. The capacity of new Partizan arena will be approximately 36,000 seats with a modern business park filled with hotels and office buildings. The 12.5 hectares of land will include a large commercial area, a five-star hotel, a business centre, multiplex cinema, nine tennis courts and around 400 apartments.[14]

The Eternal derby

Partizan's city rival is Red Star Belgrade (Serbian: Црвена звезда, Crvena zvezda). The duel is regarded as one of the greatest football rivalries in the world and the matches between these rivals have been labeled as the eternal derby (Serbian: Вечити дерби, Večiti derbi). Given its widespread touch on the entirety of a major city, it's dubbed one of, along with the Old Firm, the Rome derby and the Istanbul derby, the most heated rivalries in European football.[17] These matches are always greatly anticipated and quite spectacular, but in recent years the amount of violence and hooliganism made attendance fall an inevitable consequence. The greatest attendance was about 108,000 spectators.

British Daily Mail in September 2009 has ranked the Partizan – Red Star derby on the 4th position among 10 greatest football rivalries in the world.[18]
