Fudbalski klub Partizan (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Партизан, IPA: [fûdbalskiː klûːb partǐzaːn]; English: Partizan Football Club), known as Partizan Belgrade in English, 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 in Belgrade, 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]
Partizan Youth Academy is one of the most renowned and export-oriented in Europe. CIES (University of Neuchâtel International Centre for Sports Studies) Football Observatory report of November 2015 ranks Partizan at the top place of training clubs out of the 31 European leagues surveyed.[12] CIES report of 2019 confirmed Partizan as the most productive training club in Europe, with 75 of their academy graduates currently playing across 31 European top divisions.[13]
