FK Hajduk Beograd (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Хајдук Београд) is a football club based in Lion, Belgrade, Serbia. They compete in the Belgrade First League, the fifth tier of the national league system. The club is often referred to as Hajduk Lion, though this has never been its official name.

History

After the breakup of Yugoslavia, the club started climbing up the league pyramid by winning the Belgrade Zone League in the 1992–93 season. They subsequently finished as champions of the Serbian League North in 1993–94 and reached the Second League of FR Yugoslavia.[1] In the NATO bombing-suspended 1998–99 season, the club placed second in Group East and gained promotion to the First League of FR Yugoslavia.[2] However, they were immediately relegated from the top flight in their debut season, finishing 18th out of 21.[3]

At the beginning of the 2000s, the club played in the Second League, but managed to top Group East in the 2003–04 season to earn promotion to the First League of Serbia and Montenegro.[4] They finished bottom of the table in their comeback appearance in the top flight, but were administratively relegated to the third tier. After winning the 2006–07 Serbian League Belgrade title, the club spent two seasons in the Serbian First League, before suffering relegation back to the third tier. They surprisingly reached the quarter-finals of the 2008–09 Serbian Cup after eliminating Vojvodina on penalties, but were subsequently eliminated by Partizan.[5]
