Fudbalski klub Zabjelo (English: Football Club Zabjelo) is a Montenegrin football club based in Zabjelo, a suburb of Podgorica. They currently compete in Montenegrin Third League.
The team was founded on 1963 as FK Tara Titograd, named after one of the most powerful Yugoslav transport companies at that time. During their first seasons, Tara played in Fourth League - Central region (lowest rank in SFR Yugoslavia). First significant success, the team made on season 1966-67, by winning the champion title in Fourth League - Central, which gained them first-ever promotion to Montenegrin Republic League (Third rank).
After only two seasons in Republic League, FK Tara made another historical success. On season 1968-69, after the hard struggle against FK Rudar and FK Arsenal, Tara finished as a first-placed team, which gained them promotion to Yugoslav Second League. With that result, FK Tara became the third team from Podgorica which played in Yugoslav top two divisions, after FK Budućnost and FK Mladost.
On their debut in Yugoslav Second League (season 1969-70), FK Tara played against some of well-known national sides, like FK Budućnost, FK Sutjeska or NK GOŠK. After 30 weeks, with 21 points won, Tara finished as a 16th placed team, which meaned relegation to Republic League.
On summer 1970, the club was renamed to FK Zabjelo and all the time until the last years of century spent in third or fourth rank of domestic competitions.
