History

When the SFR Yugoslavia disintegrated, FK Železnik played in the sixth-tier league of the league system pyramid. It steadily started gaining promotion season by season in the higher tiers so that by late 1990s it played in the First League of FR Yugoslavia.

Železnik's biggest successes occurred in the early to mid 2000s. First in 2002-03 league season with the 4th place league finish, and in the following 2003-04 finishing in 3rd place just behind traditional giants Red Star and Partizan. In the 2004-05 season they finished in 8th place, but because of financial problems he was folded and later, 28th June 2005 was merged into FK Voždovac.

A number of good national and foreign players played for some periods in the club.
