RFK Novi Sad 1921 is a professional football club based in Novi Sad, Vojvodina, Serbia. As of the 2025-26 season, the club competes in the Serbian League Vojvodina, the 3rd tier of Serbian football.
Founded in 1921 as NTK, the club was refounded in 1948 as FK TrgovaÄki. They changed their name to FK Novi Sad in 1954. The club subsequently acquired the assets of NSK (formerly FK EÄÅ”eg) through a merger in 1956.[1]
In 1958, the club became part of newly formed Yugoslav Second League.[2] Led by technical director Hugo RuÅ”evljanin, they competed in Group East for three seasons, finishing as champions in 1960ā61 to reach the Yugoslav First League for the first time ever.[2] The club remained in the top flight of Yugoslav football until 1964.[3] They subsequently spent two seasons in the Second League, finishing bottom of the table in 1965ā66.[3]
In 1966, the club merged with FK RadniÄki to form RFK Novi Sad. They finished as Serbian League North runners-up in 1966ā67 before winning the title in 1967ā68 to return to the Yugoslav Second League. The club spent the next 12 seasons in the second tier, including six seasons in Group North (1968ā1974) and six seasons in Group West (1974ā1980).[4] [5] [6] They also reached the Yugoslav Cup semi-finals in 1976ā77, losing to the eventual winners Hajduk Split.[7] Later on, the club returned to the Second League after winning the Vojvodina League in 1982, remaining in the second tier until 1988.[8]
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, the club advanced to the FR Yugoslavia Cup semi-finals in 1995ā96.[9] They also spent 14 consecutive seasons in the Second League of FR Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro until 2006.[10] [11] The club promptly won the Serbian League Vojvodina in 2006ā07 and took promotion to the Serbian First League.[12] They competed in the second tier of Serbian football until 2013.[13]
