FK Dečić (Montenegrin: ФК Дечић; Albanian: FK Deçiq), known as Dečić Admiral Bet for sponsorship reasons, is a Montenegrin professional football club from Tuzi. Currently, the club is a member of the Montenegrin First League. It is a part of the Dečić sporting club.

History[edit]

Founded in 1926, the club is named after the Dečić hill. The team played only non-league matches in the period before World War II. The first official competition in which FK Dečić participated was the lowest-tier Fourth League – Central, in which they participated until the beginning of the seventies. In that era, a big local rivalry between FK Dečić and neighbouring FK Zeta was born. The first significant success during the SFR Yugoslavia era was the Fourth League championship title in 1972–73, which meant promotion to the third-tier competition Montenegrin Republic League.[1]

For most of their seasons until the end of the 20th century, FK Dečić was in the Republic League, with few relegations to the Fourth League. Dečić's best successes were in the 1988=89 season, when they finished in third place in the Montenegrin Republic League and 1989–90, when they were runners-up. Dečić had their best result to date in 2003–04. After a struggle against FK Lovćen, the team from Tuzi won the championship title in the Republic League and secured a historical first promotion to the Yugoslav Second League. FK Dečić debuted in the Second League in the 2004-05 season, and finished high, in third position.[2] The next year, Dečić finished in seventh place.[3]

After Montenegrin independence, FK Dečić became a member of the Montenegrin First League (season 2006-07), which was a historical result of the team from Tuzi. Dečić played its first game in the First League on 12 August 2006, a 1-1 draw against FK Mogren in Budva. A week later, FK Dečić played its first top-division match at the renovated stadium in Tuzi against Montenegro's strongest side, FK Budućnost, a 0–3 result in front of 3,000 spectators.[3] That was a record attendance on FK Dečić home games.
Up to 2012, FK Dečić spent six consecutive seasons in the First League. After the 2011–12 season, the team was relegated to the Montenegrin Second League.

In the following seasons, the club often went back and forth with promotions and relegations between the First and Second League, with a final return to the top division in the 2015-16 season, after a great result in the First League playoff matches against FK Mogren (2–1; 5–0). During the next two seasons, with head coaches Viktor Trenevski and Edis Mulalić, FK Dečić made significant results in the First League, finishing in the upper half of the table. An era of good results came to an end after the 2017-18 season, as FK Dečić finished at the bottom and was relegated to the Second League.

Two years later, the team from Tuzi, as champion of the 2019-20 Montenegrin Second League, made another comeback to the top tier. They would start the 2020–21 Montenegrin First League with a promising 2–0 win at home against the former Montenegrin First League champions FK Budućnost. That season was the most successful start to a season in the club's history.

Talent production[edit]

The best-known player to come up through the club is Refik Šabanadžović, who later went on to a notable career with Željezničar and Red Star Belgrade, and won the UEFA Champions League. Other notable players are Ardian Đokaj and Sanibal Orahovac.
