All these were good conditions for a successful start and development of football in the first sports society created in the city in 1909 and named NAK. From the very beginning, football section was quite successful and NAK plays as equal against already reputated clubs in Hungary, and the junior football team was probably by that time the best in Serbia. In the period prior to 1914 our city was host to many famous football clubs, among which are emphasized: TAC from Timisoara, SAK from Szeged, HAŠK from Zagreb, Greater Serbia from Belgrade, ATE from Arad, etc. The matches against this well-known teams, especially the visits from Belgrade, significantly contributed to the promotion of football in Kikinda and the Banat region.
