Red Star Belgrade FK Crvena zvezda plays its home matches at a stadium named after Rajko MitiÄ, captain and striker of the golden 1950s generation that led the club to a European Cup semi-final (1957) and quarter-final (1958). That second tie, a loss to Manchester United, carries added weight today ā it was the last match Manchester's legendary "Busby Babes" ever played before the Munich air disaster.
Still, the absolute peak of the club's history came in 1991, when a generation featuring Dejan SaviÄeviÄ, Robert ProsineÄki and SiniÅ”a MihajloviÄ won the European Cup, beating Olympique de Marseille on penalties in a dramatic final in Bari, then sealed the triumph months later by lifting the Intercontinental Cup with a 3ā0 win over Chile's Colo-Colo.
Domestically, Red Star remains unmatched ā the 2025/26 season brought a ninth consecutive and 37th overall Serbian title. The club's power also rests on its fanatical Delije supporters, who create an infernal atmosphere at the ground known as the "Marakana," above all during the Eternal Derby against fierce rivals Partizan Belgrade.
