About FK Bežanija

FK Bežanija is a Serbian football club from the Bežanija neighbourhood of New Belgrade, founded in 1921. In its early years it played under several names, including Soko, BSK and, during the Axis occupation, HŠK. After the Second World War it was called Jedinstvo, and it took the name Bežanija before the 1955–56 season. Its home ground is the small Stadion FK Bežanija.

The club rose through the lower leagues after the breakup of Yugoslavia and won the Serbian First League in 2005–06, earning a place in the new Serbian SuperLiga. It was the surprise of the league's first season in 2006–07, finishing fourth even though it had to play its home games at Železnik. That finish took Bežanija into the 2007–08 UEFA Cup, where it went out to Besa Kavajë in the first qualifying round on away goals without losing a match.

Bežanija was relegated in 2008 and then spent eleven seasons in the Serbian First League. Financial trouble forced it to withdraw in 2019, and it now plays in the lower tiers of Belgrade football.
