About FK Bor 1919

FK Bor 1919 is a Serbian football club based in the city of Bor, founded in 1919 as a Serbian–French sports association. The club originally operated under names such as ASB (Association Sportive Bor) and was closely linked to the local mining industry, which played a key role in its early development. It gradually became part of the Yugoslav football system and built its identity through regional and lower-league competitions. The club is considered one of the oldest football institutions in Serbia, with a long tradition connected to the city’s industrial history.

During the post-war Yugoslav period, FK Bor developed into a competitive side and reached its peak in the late 1960s. The club achieved its most significant success in the 1967–68 season when it reached the final of the Yugoslav Cup, which led to participation in European competition. Following this success, Bor also played in the Yugoslav First League, where it competed against some of the strongest clubs in the country. In the early 1970s, the team remained active at high levels but gradually began to fluctuate between divisions.

In later decades, the club experienced financial and sporting difficulties, leading to frequent relegations and instability. After the breakup of Yugoslavia, FK Bor continued competing in the lower tiers of Serbian football, often relying on support from the local mining industry. The original club eventually ceased operations in 2017 due to financial problems, but it was re-established in 2018 as FK Bor 1919, preserving its history and identity. Today, the club competes in the Serbian league system and focuses on rebuilding its status and developing young players.
