ZAJEČAR − CAPITAL OF SERBIAN EAST
Founded earlier, the student-workers’ club “Stanković”
later united with “Yugoslavia,” into the club “Jedinstvo”.
Some time later two new clubs were formed: “Železničar”
and “Pobeda.” Thus, in the eve of World War Two, Zaječar
had four football clubs: “Timok”, “Jedinstvo”, “Železničar”
and “Pobeda.”
Immediately after the war in the city there were two football
clubs: “Dinamo” (formerly “Timok”) and “Železničar”.
There were also several factory teams. Although occasionally
in the same league as as “Timok”, they never gained
popularity that club had with Zaječar. “Timok” entered the
Second Federal League of Yugoslavia twice, and won a series
of victories that are remembered, especially in the Cup
matches. At the stadium at the foot of Kraljevica in those
years even the teams such as Belgrade “Partizan” and Zagreb
“Dinamo” failed.
FK “Timok” is even today a leading Zaječar football club,
a stable and regular Serbian league candidate for higher
ranking competitions. Thanks to local government, in addition
to the main court (built in 1959) four extra quality
courts were built. The plan is to reconstruct the main court,
which would increase its capacity and to bring lighting for
night games.
HANDBALL
According to the results achieved, the handball team
“Zaječar” today is a leading local sports collective, without
equal. The Women’s Handball Team, consisting almost exclusively
of team members of Serbia and neighboring countries,
has no worthy rivals in the Superior League. The Men’s
team has also recorded solid results in the first division. But,
this will be dealt with in a separate chapter of this book (the
presentation).
EQUESTRIAN SPORTS
People from Zaječar proudly emphasize that they were
engaged in organized equestrian sport immediately after Belgrade,
Šabac, Kragujevac, Niš and Kragujevac. According to
the magazine “Timočanin” of July 26, 1890, the initiative was
launched by the retiree Miroslav Kurtović from Šabac and
a writer from Belgrade, Svetozar Gavrilović. The first race,
with an exhibition, was held on 21 May 1891, the day of the

Club
In 1920, a year after
forming of ball section
of Sokol movement,
two football
clubs were founded
in Zaječar – “Var dar”
and “Adri ja”. Shortly
afterwards, those two
clubs merged into
one – “Srpski mač”
(Serbian Sword). The
club closed several
years later, immediately
after which club
“Hajduk” was founded.
The club of Young
Communists “Mladi
radnik” (Young Workman)
operated for a
short period of time
until it was banned.
Upon that, clubs „Jugoslavija”
and „Obilić”
were formed (1927) in
order to merge into a
club of pupils “Jedinstvo”
(Union) in 1930.
From 1935 until the
World War II, there
had been four football
clubs in Za je ča r:
“Ti mok”, “Je din stvo”
(Union), “Po be da”
(Victory) and “Že lezni
čar” (Railroader).
