Fudbalski klub Partizan (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Партизан, IPA: [fûdbalskiː klûːb partǐzaːn]; lit. 'Football Club Partizan') is a Serbian professional football club based in Belgrade. It forms a major part of the JSD Partizan multi-sport club.[2] The club plays in the Serbian SuperLiga and has spent its entire history in the top tier of Yugoslav and Serbian football, winning a total of 46 official trophies,[3] finishing in the Yugoslav league all-time table as second. Its home ground is the Partizan Stadium, where the team have played since 1949.[4] Partizan holds records such as playing in the first European Champions Cup match on 4 September 1955,[5] as well as becoming the first club from Southeast Europe to reach the European Champions Cup final, when it did so in 1966.[6] Partizan was the first Serbian club to compete in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
The club has a long-standing rivalry with Red Star Belgrade. Matches between these two clubs are known as the Eternal derby ("Večiti derbi") and rate as one of the greatest cross-town clashes in the world.[7] Partizan also has supporters in some of the former-Yugoslav republics and in the Serbian diaspora.[8][9] Their popular nickname 'The Steamroller' (Parni valjak) was originally used in the press report after the 7–1 hammering of Red Star at the 13th Eternal Derby on 6 December 1953.[10] This nickname was later embedded in the lyrics of the club anthem.[11]
