History

edit

The beginnings of the club coincided with the construction of a local copper rolling mill, which broke ground in May 1950. The workers played their first friendly game against Sloboda Užice on 25 June, winning 1–0. The official club was formed on 7 July 1951 as FK Radnički. The first game took place on 2 August, a 3–2 loss to Borac Čačak. In 1961, the club became known as FK Sevojno.

The club enjoyed most success during the 2000s under the management of Ljubiša Stamenković over two spells. They finished as runners-up of the Serbian League West for the second consecutive time in 2004–05, earning a spot in the promotion playoffs. The club subsequently defeated Železničar Niš and Radnički Obrenovac to qualify for the Serbian First League, reaching the second tier for the first time in history. They placed eight in their debut appearance.[1]

Following two mediocre seasons in 2006–07 and 2007–08, the club brought back Stamenković as manager and went on to finish as runners-up in the 2008–09 Serbian Cup. They managed to upset Red Star Belgrade in the semi-finals, but eventually lost 3–0 to Partizan in the final.[2] As a result, the club automatically earned a spot in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League, gaining the license despite competing in the second tier of Serbian football.[3] They would eliminate Lithuanian side Kaunas on the away goals rule in the second qualifying round.[4] However, the club exited the competition in the following round, losing 4–0 on aggregate to Lille. They also finished the season as runners-up in the Serbian First League and gained promotion to the Serbian SuperLiga.[5] After years of speculation,[6] the club officially merged with Sloboda Užice on 30 June 2010.[7]
