About FK Rudar Pljevlja

FK Rudar Pljevlja is a professional football club based in Pljevlja, Montenegro, founded in 1920. It is one of the oldest clubs in the country and has gone through several name changes during its early history before finally adopting the name “Rudar,” which reflects the region’s mining tradition. The club plays its home matches at the Gradski stadion in Pljevlja and is known by the nickname “Rudari” (The Miners). It has been an important part of Montenegrin football for decades.

In the modern era, Rudar has been a regular participant in the Montenegrin First League since its establishment in 2006. The club has achieved notable success, including winning the national league title twice and securing multiple Montenegrin Cup victories. These achievements have made Rudar one of the more successful clubs in the country outside the traditional powerhouses.

Rudar Pljevlja has also represented Montenegro in European competitions, although without major breakthroughs on the continental stage. Domestically, the club is known for its competitiveness and ability to challenge stronger teams, while also developing players who go on to play at higher levels. Its identity remains closely tied to the working-class mining heritage of Pljevlja and its loyal local fan base.
