Fudbalski klub Sarajevo (English: Football Club Sarajevo; usually known simply as Sarajevo) is a professional football club based in Sarajevo, the capital city of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Formed on October 24, 1946, the club was one of the most successful Bosnian sides in the former Yugoslavia, winning two First League titles. Today it is one of the most prominent members of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Premier League, where it has won two championships and four Cups.

Sarajevo plays its home games at Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium, a 35,630 seat venue located in the city's Koševo neighborhood. Horde Zla, the team's supporters organization since 1986, traditionally occupies the stadium's north side. The club is strongly associated with its bordo colors, the Koševo stadium, and former stars such as Asim Ferhatović and Safet Sušić, as well as with the city of Sarajevo and Bosnia in general.

[edit] History

[edit] Origins

FK Sarajevo was established less than a year after the liberation of Sarajevo from Nazi rule by Partisan forces. The result of a combination between football teams Udarnik (roughly translated: one in the forefront) and Sloboda (Liberty), the club first appeared on the Yugoslav sports scene in 1946 under the name S.D. Torpedo. It played its first match on November 3rd 1946. By 1947, the name was changed to S.D. Metalaca Sarajevo, before being simplified to FK Sarajevo in 1949.

FK Sarajevo first entered the renowned First League of Yugoslavia after eliminating Sloga from Novi Sad. FK Sarajevo drew the first match 3-3 in Novi Sad, but then dominated the second match in Sarajevo 5-1. FK Sarajevo lasted only one season in the First League before falling out, but made it back in 1950. From there, FK Sarajevo remained a stable component of the First League every year except the 1957-1958 season.

[edit] First championship generation

FK Sarajevo quickly gained world-wide fame, making various international appearances, and playing in a number of prominent European tournaments. The years 1957-1967 were some of the more prosperous times for the team. Backed by stars such as Mirsad Fazlagić, Vahidin Musemić, and Asim Ferhatović (who is widely remembered as the best Bosnian football player ever), the team enjoyed great success. In 1967 FK Sarajevo were Champions of the Yugoslav First League, breaking a long trend of Croatian and Serbian football dominance.

Asim Hase Ferhatović's retirement in 1968 was one of the most important events in Sarajevo Sport history. The day itself has become something of a legend, glorified in the notable 80's song Dan Kad Je Otišao Hase (The Day That Hase Left) by popular Sarajevo garage rock band Zabranjeno Pušenje (No Smoking). The day that Asim Hase Ferhatović played his last game, the famous Sarajevo newspaper the Oslobođenje ran the headline Jedan Je Hase! (There is Only One Hase!). The success did not stop with Hase's leaving however. From 1948 to 1982, FK Sarajevo played 226 international matches on four continents. Of these it won 107, drew, 58, and lost 61 with a goal differential of 570 for to 383 against.

[edit] Second championship generation

The early 80's turned out to be FK Sarajevo's second golden age. In 1980 FK Sarajevo were runners up for the Yugoslav First League Championship. By 1982 the team went 2 rounds into the esteemed UEFA Cup before falling to the eventual runner up R.S.C. Anderlecht. In 1985, FK Sarajevo dominated the traditional Yugoslavian heavyweights and qualified for the UEFA Champions League, behind such stars as the legendary Safet Sušić. The good times did not last however. The next few years saw the decline of FK Sarajevo, distinguished by the loss of Sušić and poor results.

[edit] Effects of war

These difficulties however were minuscule compared to what was to come. The Bosnian War and siege of Sarajevo in the early 90s stopped almost all cultural life in the capital. Many of FK Sarajevo's supporters, including the infamous Horde Zla (Hordes of Evil) joined the Bosnian army and fought in the war. Despite all difficulties FK Sarajevo played a friendly game against the local peacekeepers in 1994, which it won 4-1.

[edit] Post-war period

Since the end of the war, FK Sarajevo have been in the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina. There they have been one of the most successful and dominant clubs in the league's short history, even making several brief appearances in European competition. In 2004, FK Sarajevo legend Safet Sušić was voted Bosnia and Herzegovina's best player of the last 50 years to mark UEFA's Golden Jubilee.

[edit] UEFA Champions league 2007/2008

An amazing 2006/2007 season finished with Sarajevo winning the league, therefore meaning the team entered the UEFA Champions League. Sarajevo started its run on July 17 against Maltese champions Marsaxlokk. Sarajevo dominated and stunned the Maltese with a 6-0 away victory - the biggest win in FK Sarajevo's post-war history and won once again in Kosevo stadium 3-1, beating Marsaxlokk with an aggregate score of 9-1. The 'Bordo Team' was faced with a game against Belgian Jupiler League runners-up K.R.C. Genk. Sarajevo pulled of one of the most memorable wins with a 2-1 win over Genk in Belgium. The home leg was less successful with Sarajevo losing 1-0 - Sarajevo qualified on the away goals rule. In the third round, Sarajevo were drawn with Dynamo Kiev. It proved to be a game too far, with the Ukrainian team winning 4-0 on aggregate. FK Sarajevo is the only BiH Premier League team along with FK Željezničar Sarajevo to reach such a stage in Europe.

[edit] UEFA Cup 2007/2008

After hard fought battles against Dinamo Kiev which ended Dinamo Kiev's favor of a 4-0 victory in aggregate, They had to settle for Europe's second most cherished prize, the UEFA Cup. FK Sarajevo played a rather attacking style in the first game and almost came about scoring a goal a couple of times, with one actually entering the net but it had to be dealt as an offside.

They lost at home to FC Basel 1-2 pulling up wonderful performances but couldn't net a goal until the 90th minute.

The away leg on October 4 was far less successful. Playing in front of 15,000 fans at St. Jakob Park, Sarajevo were smashed 0-6, losing out 1-8 on aggregate.

[edit] Honors

  • Bosnian First League: 1
    • 1999 (As play off haven't been played due to boycott by Bosniak clubs, FK Sarajevo had been given the title although it was never recognized as a champion of Bosnia and Herzegovina by UEFA who clearly stated that champion is a team who wins the play off, played by teams from first league of NSBiH and NSHB. This is also the reason no team played in UEFA competitions this year.)
