About FK Arsenal Tivat

FK Arsenal Tivat is a professional football club based in the coastal town of Tivat, Montenegro, founded in 1914. It is one of the oldest football clubs in the country and was originally formed under a different name before adopting “Arsenal,” a reference to the local naval repair shipyard that gave the club its identity. Throughout its early history, the club mostly competed in regional and lower divisions of the former Yugoslav football system.

In the modern era, FK Arsenal Tivat gradually progressed through the Montenegrin league structure after the country gained independence in 2006. The club spent many seasons moving between the second and third tiers before achieving a historic milestone by reaching the Montenegrin First League in the 2021–22 season. Since then, it has competed at the top level, working to establish itself as a stable First League side and occasionally achieving respectable mid-table finishes.

Arsenal Tivat also reached an important peak in the 2022–23 season, when it qualified for European competition for the first time after a strong domestic campaign and a run to the Montenegrin Cup final. The club plays its home matches at Stadion u Parku in Tivat, a small coastal stadium. Despite being a modest club by European standards, it has gained attention for its rapid rise in recent years and its historic roots as one of Montenegro’s oldest football institutions.
