History

FK Železničar Beograd was formed in 1924, when a group of workers from the Belgrade railway station began playing the game. Later in the year, the first team was formed. In the 1927–28 season the club started to compete and, by the end of their first season, they finished fifth. The club had many problems with their financial status but they continued to play football. In 1935, FK Železničar Beograd built a new stadium; in the opening game they crushed FK Gradjanski, from Zemun, 12–0, in a memorable game for the fans. FK Železničar Beograd stayed in the same league until the Second World War.

During the war, all games had been cut but, after it ended, the sport association of Železničar began to form new sport clubs. The team began to compete in higher leagues: in the early 1950s, they competed in the Jedinstvenoj Sport League. Later they moved on to the First League of Belgrade. In the 1989 season, the club was promoted to the Belgrade Zone—at that time the highest competition in Belgrade.
