The match which has a great charm. The good old Novi Sad-Belgrade derby. The duel of sports friends outside the pitch, and great rivals on the pitch. The game labelled as a gentlemen’s derby, because their duels were never marked by scandals or incidents, but true, healthy football story. It will be football, just the way it should be.
In the 13th round of Mozzart Bet Super league of Serbia the team of Vojvodina is welcoming OFK Beograd on Saturday from 8 pm at Karađorđe stadium. A long-awaited match, it’s been too long. It has been 3.143 days since the last competitive match of these two teams. Now, the episode 122 is finally here, and the chance for Vojvodina to reach OFK Beograd on the scoreboard (39-41, with 41 draws).
- Nice memories link me to OFK Beograd and Karaburma where I grew up, but my biggest emotion is Vojvodina. We are certainly expecting a great match, a true derby, I see hints that a large number of players of both teams will come, and that is the right atmosphere for the match which is truly special, and was waited for a long time – Nenad Lalatović began his story, who was once also the player of OFK Beograd.
The head coach of the Superleague team from Novi Sad talked about the rival with carefully chosen words:
- A great team! They play excellently, they are not in the 3rd place on the scoreboard by mistake. It will be an extremely difficult match, but the ambitions of Vojvodina are always the same, before any match. We want the victory, and to start building an invincible fortress on our pitch. In the last two games at home, Vojvodina had a draw and a defeat, and we want to end that now, and turn a new leaf – the coach of Vojvodina said.
The match with Jedinstvo (1:1) is in the archives now, but some lessons are learned:
- We gave our own goal in Ub. Such things shouldn’t happen to us. Certainly, we need some time to raise the team to the highest level. The ambitions and the name of Vojvodina require results as soon as possible, and we are ready to do everything to achieve them – the head of staff said.
Lalatović returns before the fans in Novi Sad:
- I invite all the fans to come to the match! This one, and all the next ones. Not because of me, but because of the players and our Vojvodina. My desire is the full Karađorđe stadium at every game of Vojvodina and I truly believe that we will make that happen. The boys are training well, and hard, but that is the only way we can bring Vojvodina to the place where it belongs, the top of Serbian football – the message of Lalatović is clear.
Lalatović se vraća pred navijače u Novom Sadu:
The tickets for the gentlemen’s derby can be purchased on matchday at the ticket office of Karađorđe stadium.
Everyone together for Bojan!
Vojvodina FC continues with the practice of charity actions at the matches in Novi Sad. A part of the money from ticket sales will be donated to Bojan Matavulj, a young man who remained in a wheelchair after a car accident. Vojvodina FC would like to invite everyone to help young Bojan recover. Aside from buying the tickets for the match, you can also help by sending a text message with 1455 to 3030 (the cost of the text message is 200 dinars).
A memorable gesture!
The fans of Vojvodina made a gesture worthy of attention more than two years ago. At that time, they invited the Management board of the club from Novi Sad to help OFK Beograd in the moments when the ’’romantics’’ were facing a possible shut-down.
- Help OFK Beograd, even if it is at the cost of us not bringing a new reinforcement – that was the plea of the fans of Vojvodina.
The Management answered the appeal for help, and made a gesture that will be remembered for a long time.
