About FK Leotar

FK Leotar is a professional football club based in Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, founded on 19 August 1925. The club is named after the nearby Leotar mountain and plays its home matches at the Stadion Police, which has a capacity of around 8,500 spectators. Leotar is commonly known as the “Tigers” and currently competes in the First League of the Republika Srpska, the second tier of Bosnian football.

During the Yugoslav period, FK Leotar never reached the top national division, but it remained a stable regional club with a long tradition. After the Bosnian War, it became part of the football system in Republika Srpska and later joined the unified Bosnian league structure in the early 2000s. The club’s breakthrough came in the 2001–02 season when it won the First League of Republika Srpska, earning promotion to the national top flight.

The greatest achievement in Leotar’s history came in the 2002–03 season, when it surprisingly won the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, becoming national champions for the first time. This title also qualified the club for the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, marking its only appearance in Europe’s premier club competition. Although it was eliminated in the early qualifying rounds, this period remains the peak of Leotar’s success.
