Fudbalski klub Berane (Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Беране) is a Montenegrin professional football club based in Berane. Established in 1920, the club plays in the Third League of Montenegro.

History

[edit]

FK Berane was founded in 1920, as one of the first football clubs in Northern Montenegro and Sandžak region.

In the period before World War II, they were the most successful football team from the north. During the 1920s, as other neighbouring clubs mostly played friendlies, FK Berane participated in official competitions of Montenegro. Greatest season of that time was in 1928, when Berane played in the finals of Montenegrin Football Championship.[1] Their opponent in the game for the trophy was FK Lovćen, who won with result 3–0. That was the best result of FK Berane before World War II.

After the war, city of Berane was renamed – the new name was Ivangrad. Due to that fact, a new name of football club was Ika Ivangrad. First significant success after World War II, the team made on season 1948–59, with their first-ever performance in Montenegrin Republic League.[2] At 1949, the club was renamed again, so they started to play under the name Radnički Ivangrad. Biggest success in Montenegrin Republic League came in 1951 – Radnički Ivangrad won the title after the hard struggle with FK Sutjeska, but could not achieve promotion to the Second League. The most significant success in the decade came in 1955, when the team gained promotion to the Yugoslav Second League, where they spent only a single season.

In the beginning of the sixties, the club was presented as FK Ivangrad, but they didn't achieve any significant results until the start of the 1980s. Success came at season 1982–83, when Ivangrad won the title in the Montenegrin Republic League. Their home game against FK Zeta, who was their biggest rival during the season, was attended by 10,000 spectators, which was the all-time record of the Montenegrin Republic League.

Ivangrad finished 11th in the 1983–84 Yugoslav Second League.[3] During the same season, for the first time in the history, the club won the Montenegrin Republic Cup. So, they played in the 1984–85 Yugoslav Cup, but were eliminated in the first stage against NK Osijek (1–3).[4]

After five consecutive seasons in Yugoslav Second League, FK Ivangrad was relegated on season 1987–88. During the breakup of SFR Yugoslavia, the team was a member of third-tied competitions.

Following the change of the city name, from 1996, club is playing under the name FK Berane. On season 1996–97, they were first place in the Montenegrin Republic League, which gave them the opportunity to play in the 1997–98 Yugoslav Second League. FK Berane achieved a few significant results at that time, with sixth place in season 1997–98,[5] but they were relegated after the 2000–2001 season.

Following Montenegrin independence in 2006, as a winner of the last edition of Montenegrin Republic League, FK Berane became a member of inaugural season of the Montenegrin First League. With a poor performance throughout the season, they finished as the last-placed team in the 2006–07 season. The best result in the Montenegrin Cup came at edition 2007–08, when they played against FK Budućnost, but didn't succeed to reach the final game (0–0, 0–4).

By now, FK Berane played four seasons in Prva CFL, but they always finished with relegations.
