Fudbalski klub Modriča Maxima (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Moдpичa Максима) is a football club based in Modriča, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The club was founded in 1922 and it is currently active in the Second League of the Republika Srpska. Modriča Maxima became champions in First League of RS in 2002–03 season, which secured them a place in the top level. The club plays at the FK Modriča Maxima Stadium (capacity 6,000) and is sponsored by an oil refinery from the same town.
The club's biggest success came in 2003–04 season when it won the national cup. Due to this victory, Modriča qualified for the following season's UEFA Cup tournament. It played against FC Santa Coloma of Andorra and won both games, but was later knocked out by Bulgarian side PFC Levski Sofia.
The origins of Modriča's history of professional sports are connected to football, and they date back to 1921.
The first football was brought from Prague by a student Đoka Petrović. The first football club was founded in Modriča in 1922. The club was originally named Rogulj, but it soon changed its name to Zora. In the first years of development of the sport there were no official competitions – only friendly matches played between teams from neighbouring locations, and the players purchased sports equipment for themselves alone. The first official match Zora played was against the neighbouring team of "Bosanac" from Bosanski Šamac in 1923, which resulted in a 2–2 draw.
Zora existed up until 1927, when the authorities forbade its operation. Soon after, however, another club was founded under the name Olimpija, which existed under this name until 1938, when it changed its name to FK Dobor. After the beginning of the Second World War, all sports activities ceased, and only when the war was over, in August 1945, a new football club was founded, named Sloga. The club later changed its name to Napredak until it finally got the name "Modriča".
