FK Radnički Sombor (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Раднички Сомбор) is a football club from Sombor, Serbia. They are playing in the Prva liga (Second tier league).[1]
History
FK Radnički Sombor was founded in 1912 as Somborski SK. During the First World War all football leagues were stopped, and only friendly matches took place. Between the two wars Somborski SK played under very harsh conditions. Even so, the club managed to play in the 1924 Yugoslav First League. The club would not exist today if it was not the financial support they received from their sponsors during that time. One of the most entertaining games of the 1940s was in 1945 between Radnički Sombor and Radnički Belgrade, now FK Radnički Jugopetrol; Radnički Sombor won the match 4–1. Their first season of professional league competition was disappointing, with only three wins in ten matches. In the 1952-53 season Radnički Sombor finished second behind FK Dinamo Pančevo. In 1954 in the Vojvodina First League (national 3rd tier) Radnički Sombor finished first; out of 88 games they won 47, drew 12, and lost 29. They were very successful in the 1957-58 season, reaching the quarter-final in the Yugoslav Cup, where they finally lost to HNK Hajduk Split. [2]
The club was promoted into the Second Yugoslav League. The stadiums were always packed, with tickets sold out a few days before the matches. Their fortunes again changed and they were moved out of the second tier and the club experienced financial troubles. In the 1971-72 season Radnički was back in the Vojvodina Provincial League.[3] For the next ten years the club had very little success until the 1985/86 season, when they finished at the top of the league. In 1991/92 the club competed in the Inter-republics League North, and are presently in the Prva Liga (Second tier league).[4]
