Fudbalski Klub Partizan (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Партизан, English: Football Club Partizan) is a football club from Belgrade, Serbia. The second division team Teleoptik is also owned by Partizan. According to UEFA, Partizan has the second-ranking youngster school in Europe (after Ajax Amsterdam).[citation needed]

History

Partizan was founded on October 4, 1945, as a part of Yugoslav Sports Association. The club is still a member of the same association now renamed to Sports Association of Serbia and Montenegro, including 25 clubs in different sports, as well as the Football Association of Serbia and Montenegro, but it has complete independence regarding organisation, management, finances, material goods and facilities. There are several companies in the Partizan business system, which are working together with the club. There are also few own public organs such is a radio station "MIP" ("Music & Partizan") and magazine "Samo Partizan" ("Only Partizan").[citation needed]

The club was initially formed under Yugoslav People's Army, and the stadium was named for most of the time Stadion JNA (Stadium of Yugoslav People's Army). In the early 50's club became independent from the Army. The first international match was played on December 6, 1945, against CSKA Moscow (then known as CDKA).

Partizan's current colors are black and white, after blue and red for the first thirteen years.

Fans

Partizan's fans, known as Grobari (Undertakers), were formed in the late 70's. The nickname itself was given by their biggest rivals F.C. Red Star Belgrade fans, referring to club's mostly black colours which were similar to official uniforms of cemetery undertakers. They generally support all clubs in the Sports Association Partizan. In 1999, organized fans who traditionally occupy South stands at the stadium split into two groups. Newly formed group named Južni Front (South Front) accused several top members of Grobari organization for abusing their privileges, and the club itself for favorising those individuals. Last year fans have settled their differences and today there are three major fan groups: "Južni Front", "Grobari 1970" and "Grobari Beograd". As of november 2005, all fan groups are boycotting the FC Partizan matches until president Ivan Ćurković, sports director Nenad Bjeković and general secretary Žarko Zečević resign.

Stadium & sports centre

The primary stadium of the club is now named "Stadion Partizana", 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 seats 32,710 people.

Stadium was used from mid fifties until 1987 as the final point of yearly festivities called the Day of Youth. On May 25, the baton of Relay of Youth was finally passed into the hands of Josip Broz Tito (1892-1980), president of the communistic Yugoslavia ( May 25, 1977: http://www.titoville.com/images/tito-in-stafeta.jpg)

The Sports Centre "Partizan-Teleoptik", also known as "Zemunelo", is situated on the surface of almost 10 hectares, in the west part of Zemun, on the intersection of two mayor highways and in vicinity of the airport. Regarding funcionality, architectual solutions, modern equipment and bulding materials used, this centre is among sports buildings of the highest value. At present, it`s a training and preparatory base of all Partizan selections,consisting of around six hundred sportsmen- beginning with the first team, through the 2nd division team of Teleoptik, down to the youngest categories of large Partizan family.

Internationally, Partizan was the runner-up in the European Cup Championship of 1966, the winner of the Mitropa Cup in 1978 and the quarterfinalist of Cup Winners' Cup in 1989.

Records

Momčilo Vukotić is the Partizan record-holder by the number of appearances: He played in 752 matches. The goal scoring record-holder is a Croatian striker Stjepan Bobek, with 403 goals.

Over 130 Partizan football players were in the Yugoslav national team and Stjepan Bobek, Branko Zebec, Zlatko Čajkovski, Fahrudin Jusufi, Milan Galić, Milutin Šoškić, Slaviša Jokanović, Predrag Mijatović and Savo Milošević played in more than 50 matches.

The "Black and whites" are record-holders of the Yugoslav First League, in terms of points scored during a campaign, with 107 in one year's championship and are the only unbeaten champion team (in season 2004/05). Partizan also won the most First League of Serbia and Montenegro championships, being a champion 8 out of 14 times.

Arguably Partizan's most exciting match was a double header against Celtic in 1989. The first tie was held in Mostar (Bosnia-Herzegovina) which Partizan won 2-1. The second leg was held in Scotland which Celtic won 5-4. Partizan scored in the last minute to qualify on the away goals rule in front of over 70,000 fans. Partizan also played in a 1966 European Cup final against Real Madrid, after eliminating Manchester United in semifinals. At one point Partizan was 1-0 up, only to lose to the Spaniards 2-1 at the end.

Some of the highlights from Partizan's recent past include an UEFA Champions League appearance in 2003-04 season. After eliminating Newcastle United in the last qualifying round, 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. 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 the next season, Partizan reached the round-of-16 in UEFA Cup, where it was eliminated by CSKA Moscow, eventual winner of the competition.
