SBB Vukovi Beograd are an American football team from Belgrade, Serbia. After establishing in 2003, in just few years SBB Vukovi have become one of the best organized and most successful American football teams in Eastern Europe. Today SBB Vukovi are competing in SAAF Serbian Superleague and Central European Football League.
The interest in American football in Serbia grew rapidly after the first television broadcasts of NFL season in 2001. The first meetings of several people who threw football began in the summer of 2002 in Belgrade Ada Ciganlija. The number of new players each week increased, and at the end of the year was over 30 people. The club was officially founded on 14 January 2003, and was the second established American football club in Serbia. Shortly thereafter, all major cities in Serbia started with the establishment of new clubs. The first game was played in the spring of that year without helmets and shoulder pads, against the Kragujevac Wild Boars, which they won. During 2003, Vukovi played several informal games with teams from Serbia and all were defeated, while the number of players in the team has reached over 50. First Vukovi head coach was Igor Hoffmann.
First league game in Serbia was played in 2004 and 5 teams competed that year. This league was played without necessary equipment, pads and helmets. Final game was played on November, 7th, 2004. in Kragujevac on Čika Dača football field, where home team Kragujevac Wild Boars defeated Vukovi Beograd 21-6.
Instead of a league in 2005, there was a cup held in Serbia. Ten teams took part in this competition. Final game was played in Belgrade on FK Obilić stadium on Jun, 19th 2005. and this time Vukovi defeated Wild Boars, 20-6.
In early 2006 a new club administration with the president Goran Nisavic, helped Vukovi to buy equipment. With three more teams from Serbia and one from Slovenia new SELAF League was established (later renamed the CEFL). Vukovi and Wild Boars have again reached the finals, which was played 8 October 2006 at the Radnicki Stadium in New Belgrade in front of 3,000 spectators. Serbian national anthem before the game is performed by famous actor Nikola Djuricko, and group Nightshift was performing at halftime. Kragujevac was better and won 23-12. Vukovi quarterback Andrej Tasic was proclaimed SELAF League offensive MVP,unfortunately he was injured in the semifinals and could not help the Vukovi to win title. During that season, several players are highlighted as team leaders in future, Tasic brothers, Petar Vitorovic, Ivan Ristic, Milos Todorovi and Milos Stanimirovic.
