Also, the plan is to create a register of all former players of Vojvodina who live in Novi Sad and its surroundings, and to establish contacts with former players who have remained living abroad, including those who are still active players. We also intend to mark important events and dates from the history of our club, as well as to launch an initiative to establish a mini-league of veterans on the territory of AP Vojvodina. At the same time, the plan is to promote the Section through the playing of friendly matches throughout Vojvodina and beyond, then the establishment of the FK Vojvodina museum and the collection of museum materials, establishing contact with the Archives of the City of Novi Sad and the Archives of Vojvodina, organizing meetings and spending time with the families of deceased veterans, making advertising material and the publication of a mini-monograph on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of FK Vojvodina – Purać pointed out.
