After the U20 World Cup FIFA asked fans to vote for the best goal of the tournament.

Čestitke, Žile!!!! Such a great goal deserves even bigger congratulations :)

In the meantime Partizan’s football team have already started the preparing for the 2015/16 season. The boys went to the picturesque Tara mountains for a training camp.
On the first day they had terrible weather, cold and rain. But our boys are not made from sugar to melt from a little water.

Ninković and Babović chose the "optimistic" option

Exemplary sportsmen: Vulićević and Marinković


Exuberant atmosphere and joyous mood despite the weather (or something like that)

In the meantime a new player signed to the team in Belgrade. Fabricio (Fabricio Silva Dornellas) arrived from Brazil. The 25-year-old left back comes from team Bragantino in Brazil. He signed for one year, his jersey number will be 44.


He was immediately packed and sent to Tara to join the team in the training camp.

In the mountains the rain has stopped, the preparations can go on with full force.

Hard work in process

Meanwhile Partizan’s youth team player, 18-year-old Nemanja Glavčić signed his first ever professional contract with the team for 5 years. He joined the seniors in Tara on 19th...

Ready for Champions League

This 15-year-old boy standing next to Zoran Milinković arrived from Priboj on his bicycle. The young man decided to come over to Tara on his bike to see his beloved team. The journey took a bit more than 2 days (65 km in air kilometres).
Huge respect. THIS is Partizan heart.

Video of the day - the U20 Serbian national team learning Haka dance

The U20 Serbian national team - together with Andrija Živković, Ivan Šaponjić and Miladin Stevanović - are taking part at the U20 World Cup in New Zealand. Some students of a local high school visited them at a training and taught them Haka, the maori war dance. (You may have seen it here.)


...and now I imagine as Partizan-players perform it at the next eternal derby while the shocked opponent is just watching with eyes popped out.

Dick Advocaat - when the name perfectly fits the person who wears it

The situation is given: tonight Serbia plays an European Championship qualifying game against Albania. (The match will be held in Partizan Stadium.) This match is not just a simple qualifying but for more reasons it's rather a war-like battle, a prestige for both teams. The Serbian national team is very seriously motivated - and after all these, Serbian national team coach Dick Advocaat announces just a few hours before the match that the most talented Serbian striker, Partizan's former and Anderlecht's current goal scorer, 20-year-old Aleksandar "Mitrogol" Mitrović will not play tonight, because he is 'overweight and needs diet'.

The following will be NSFW.

Mr. Advocaat, you're a boor. A jerk. It was something utterly self-righteous and arrogant as well as happening in the worst possible timing. It was not the first time you speak about your employers in such an off-hand manner that makes every well-meaning person vomit from disgust. Back when you got this post you spoke about Serbian stadiums, Serbian hotels and generally about Serbia in a highly revolting and outrageous manner. Even the most innocent person wanted to tear your balls off and hang them on your ears like two withered cherries. This one now about Mitrović definitely blew the fuse. You are a disgusting asshole, Mr. Advocaat, who is clearly doing it all for money and fame, without even a pinch of committment for the Serbian national football team. It seems to be beneath your dignity to stay in Serbia, you rather play the boss from the Netherlands. Mr. Advocaat, your name perfectly fits you. If you still have a bit of self-esteem, you immediately resign and disappear from Serbian football for ever. But before that offer your apology to the Serbian public.

By the way, match starts at 20:45, RTS 1 broadcasts it live.
