Fudbalski klub Rad (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Рад), commonly known as Rad, is a professional Serbian football club based in Belgrade. FK Rad is one of the most successful and supported clubs in Serbia. Translated into English, the club's name signifies "work" or "labour" due to being formed by the construction company of the same name in 1958.

History

Rad was founded in 1958 by workers of the GRO Rad company. From the start the club had two major local rivals: Banjica and Jajinci, these rivalries were the rivals of the company but quickly it passed to football. The following individuals are considered as club's founders: Petar Đerasimović, the first president, Radojica Tanasijević, the first general selector, Željko Marjanović, the first financial adviser, and Ljubomir Lazić, the first vice president. The players that have played in 1958 can feel like founders as well, Rad had a lot of young players that were schooled in the First league teams, some players would include: Lazar Slavković, Đurđe Ivković, Vladimir Acević, Teodor Šušnjar, Milan Abramović, Brana Djaković, Aleksandar Banić, Živojin Rafailović, Aleksandar Andrejić, and a little later Sreten "Sele" Antić, Milan "Selja" Jovanović, and others.

The first head coach was Nikola Marjanović. The parliament has given the club a pitch in the center of Banjica, a few concrete stands were made, and later locker rooms were added, as well as the restaurant. The club had supporters in the Banjica region,which followed their club away and home. Rad quickly got promoted to the Belgrade League. In the period from 1965 to 1969, a change of generations had taken place. At that time the leaders were Ljubomir Lazić and Radomir Antić, notable managers were Đorđević and Đurđević, leaders for the players were Ratomir Janković, Vlada Vlaović, Matović, Zoran Bulatović, Dutina, Čeh and others.

The club's greatest success occurred in 1988–89 season when it finished the Yugoslav First League competition in fourth spot, ahead of many richer clubs such as Partizan. This success qualified Rad for the UEFA Cup in the 1989–90 season, where it was eliminated 2–3 on aggregate in the first round by Olympiacos (Rad lost 0–2 in Athens after winning 2–1 on home ground).

Name changes through history

  • 1958 : club founded under the name of FK Rad
  • 1990 : renamed to FK GRO Rad
  • 1993 : renamed again to FK Rad

Stadium

The stadium of Rad is the King Petar I Stadium, commonly known as "Stadion na Banjici" (Stadium at Banjica), which is located in the southern part of Belgrad's Banjica neighbourhood, and holds about 6,000 people. It was built in 1977 although its stand dates back to the pre-WWII period when it was used for military parades and other state celebrations during the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.[1]

Supporters & Rivalries

Rad's supporters call themselves United Force, a relatively small but very strong and fanatical group. They profess far-right ultra-nationalist views, making them very unpopular with FK Novi Pazar fans, who represent the Muslim minority in Serbia.[2] They also have a rivalry with the OFK Beograd-FK Voždovac alliance with whom they contest Belgrade derbies.
