Fudbalski Klub Crvena Zvezda (Фудбалски клуб Црвена звезда, commonly known in English as Red Star) is one of the two major association football teams in Belgrade, the capital city of Serbia-Montenegro. Their great rivals are Partizan Belgrade, and the derby matches between the two clubs are usually spectacular, if not for the football, at least for the action off the field.
Red Star's greatest achievement was winning the European Cup in 1991 in Bari, Italy. The club also made the final of the UEFA Cup in 1979, losing to Borussia Mönchengladbach.
In contrast with other teams' reliance on imported footballers, Red Star have had many homegrown superstars, such as Dejan Savicevic and Dragan Stojkovic.
