The idea of founding Vojvodina FC was created on an island in the lake in today’s Danube Park, where the youngsters of Novi Sad often used to come by a boat.

The first football ball in Novi Sad was brought in 1901, and at that time, football in Novi Sad was known as shor-ball.

The first football match in Novi Sad that was played in the evening was at the end of July in 1933, when the combined team of Vojvodina and Radnicki (today’s Novi Sad) played against Olympique, a team from the Egyptian city of Alexandria. The match was played under the light of large bulbs, which were attached to the bands on both sides of the field.

When the Communist Party assumed power in Yugoslavia after World War II, a union between Vojvodina, Radnicki (today’s Novi Sad) and Slavija was made. The new club’s name was Sloga, and one of the proposals for a new name was also the Young Tractor. Four years later, due to the pressure of the fans and with the engagement of the famous journalist and publicist Vladimir Dedijer, this club was disbanded and Vojvodina became Vojvodina again.

The first match after the club began to function again, before the end of the World War II,, Vojvodina played in the autumn of 1944 in Zrenjanin, and to this match, its players traveled in a truck trailer.

Vojvodina is the first team from the territory of the former SFRY that managed to defeat a Hungarian team, after a win in Budapest in 1956 against Ferencvaros with a score of 0:2.

In 1956, Vojvodina had 11of its current players in the national teams of Yugoslavia (five in senior and six in the U-21 team)

The first edition of Vojvodina’s club magazine was published in 1957, and the editor of the magazine was the legendary goalkeeper of Vojvodina, Lazar Vasić, who, while he was still an active footballer, at the same time worked as a journalist.

The highest victory in the official UEFA competitions ever achieved by any club from the territory of the former SFRY was made by Vojvodina in 1961, which was a victory against the Greek side Iraklis from Thessaloniki in Novi Sad with the result of 9:1, in the Cup of the Fair Cities.

In the 1965/66 season, when they won their first championship title, Vojvodina was eliminated in the Round of 32 in the Marshal Tito Cup by Mladost from Smederevska Palanka, which was a member of the fourth division at the time.

From the team that managed to win a championship title in 1966, six players of Vojvodina got a college degree, and three of them also gained a PhD diploma at DIF University at the football department. Those are dr Radivoj Radosav, dr Stevan Sekereš and dr Veljko Aleksić.

During a trip to Leipzig on November 22, 1967, due to the great storm at Leipzig airport, the plane with the players of Vojvodina crashed during landing and thrust into the ground. Fortunately, the engines did not explode, so no one got seriously injured.
