FK Vojvodina (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Војводина) is a football club from Novi Sad, Serbia. The club currently competes in the Serbian SuperLiga. FK Vojvodina is the third oldest football club in Serbia's SuperLiga, after OFK Beograd which was founded in 1911 and FK Javor which was founded in 1912.

History

FK Vojvodina was founded March 6, 1914 on the eve of World War I in an apartment building located at 12 Temerinska Street. The club was founded in secrecy as Austro-Hungarian authorities instituted and closely administered a ban on organized gathering in southern parts of the kingdom populated by Slavs, especially Serbs.[1] The new club played its first match in the village of Kovilj against local club FK Šajkaš, winning 5-0. At that time Vojvodina played in bright blue colours, however, they soon changed it to red-white, inspired by Czech club SK Slavia Prague.

The club's biggest successes on the national level came during the SFRY when it won the Yugoslav First League in 1966 and 1989, and was the runner-up in 1957, 1962 and 1975. In 1967, Vojvodina reached the quarter-finals of the European Cup, before being knocked out in dramatic circumstances 2-1 on aggregate by eventual champions, Glasgow Celtic, thanks to a last minute goal by Celtic captain Billy McNeill. After winning the European Cup by beating Inter Milan 2-1 in Lisbon on May 25, 1967, Celtic players said later that Vojvodina was the best side they had faced that season.

It also participated in the Yugoslav Cup and reached the finals in 1951 and 1997. Vojvodina played in the Intertoto cup final in 1998. In 2007, the club once again reached the domestic cup final, again failing to take home the trophy. The 2008/09 season was a huge step for Vojvodina as the club managed to finish second in the league, behind Partizan but in front of Red Star. This was the first time a team other than Red Star or Partizan finished in the top 2 since 1998. In 2010, Vojvodina was again one of the cup finalists, but lost to Red Star.

The 2011 cup final game was marred with controversy, culminating with Vojvodina players walking off the pitch in the 83rd minute of the game, after several controversial decisions by the referee, with score standing at 1:2 in favour of Partizan. Initially, Partizan was declared winners and awarded the trophy but later this decision was revised pending an ongoing investigation by the Serbian FA. On May 16th, 2011 the match was officially registered as a Vojvodina forfeit (0:3 Partizan victory). Vojvodina has the right to appeal within the next 3 days [2]

Stadium

Karađorđe Stadium

The home field of FK Vojvodina is the Karađorđe Stadium in Novi Sad. With a capacity of 15,204 seats, it is the largest football stadium in the city. The stadium is also the home ground for the Serbian U-21 football team. In late May 2007, the stadium also was the site of Siniša Mihajlović's testimonial match.

In 2006, the club reconstructed the whole club complex SC Vujadin Boškov along with the stadium. The club's training complex is one of the most modern training camps in the region.

Highest ever recorded attendance on Vojvodina's game was in 1989, the same season when club won its last title. Reports claim that around 30.000 people packed the stadium, in 3:1 win against Red Star.

Supporters

FK Vojvodina's supporters are known as The Firm (Firma). It was established in 1989. The Firm is one of the top 5 strongest group of supporters in Serbia. There is only about 10000 supporters but a great part of them are faithful followers of their football club. The Firm is an organisation with relatively bright history. The members of The Firm ("Firmaši") are more known as ultras, not hooligans. The Firm has recently been involved in a big blood donation for transfusions in Serbia's hospitals. However,"Firmaši" had always defended the name of their club with all their forces and never betrayed FC Vojvodina. Some of the subgroups are: G-3, UltraNS, Freaks, Old Town Boys, Pandora, Backi Odred. The Firm is an organised group of fans that welcomes true supporters of FC Vojvodina who will follow their club on their stadium, as well on their "aways", and show their love and loyalty by showing up on every event involved with their club and give their 100%. FK Vojvodina also has a group of their oldest supporters, called the OLD GUARD (cyrillic: СТАРА ГАРДА) and who are for more than 40 years in the east stand of the stadium.
