Fudbalski klub Jagodina (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Јагодина) is a Serbian professional football club based in the city of Jagodina, who plays in the Serbian SuperLiga, the top division in Serbian football. The club was founded in 1919 under the name JSK Zora, just months after the end of World War I. After numerous name changes and a merger of several clubs, the present name was created in 1962.
At the times of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro, FK Jagodina played mostly in the lower-tier leagues of the country, except 1957–58, than under the name FK Morava, and 1993–94, when they spent one season in the second division. In 2007, the club won the Serbian League East, one of four sections of the Serbian League, the third national tier, and managed the direct walkover in the first league for the first time in its history, the SuperLiga.
Finally making a long spell in top-flight football, FK Jagodina developed itself in recent years as one of the most stable Serbian football clubs. Jagodina won its first Serbian Cup in 2013 and subsequently reached the 2014 Serbian Cup final, and finished at an all-time-high third place in the 2014 SuperLiga season.
Jagodina hosts its matches at the Jagodina City Stadium, which is part of the sports and leisure complex Đurđevo brdo, located in the very south of the city.
It was 1906, when Sreten Adžić, today one of the most famous educators of Serbia and former student of the Universities of Vienna and Leipzig, brought the first football from Vienna to Jagodina. As the founder and director of the first male teachers school in the city, he saw in football the educational value of the physical, social and emotional development, as well as the opportunity for development of the youthful mind, with the goal of ethical virtues to maintain.
