FK Rad (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Рад) is a football club from Belgrade, Serbia. It plays at Stadion Kralj Petar I, which is located in the southern part of the city's Banjica neighbourhood.
Translated into English, the club's name signifies "work" or "labour", which is due to the fact that it was formed by a construction company of the same name.
Over the years, the club served as breeding ground for a number of well-known players, including Vladimir Jugović, Ljubinko Drulović, Zoran Mirković, Miroslav Đukić, Goran Bunjevčević, Željko Cicović, Slavoljub Muslin and others.
History
The club was founded in 1958, entering competition in the lowest rank, but eventually fought its way into the Yugoslav First League during the 1980s, staying there until the 2002-03 season when it got relegated to Second League, where it has stayed until 2004/05 season when it was promoted into the First League of Serbia (now called Super Liga) again.
The club's greatest success occurred in 1988-89 season when it finished the Yugoslav league competition in fourth spot, ahead of many richer clubs such as FK Partizan and Dinamo Zagreb. This success qualified FK Rad for the UEFA Cup in the 1989-90 season, where it was eliminated 2-3 on aggregate in the first round by Olympiacos (Rad lost 0-2 in Athens after winning 2-1 on home ground).
