Fudbalski Klub Sarajevo (Sarajevo Football Club ) is a professional football club based in Sarajevo, the capital city of Bosnia and is one of the most popular clubs in the country. Founded on 24 October 1946, the club was the most successful club from SR Bosnia in former SFR Yugoslavia, winning two Yugoslav First League titles and finishing 5th in that competition’s all-time table. Today, FK Sarajevo is one of the most prominent members of the Bosnian Premier League, where it has won two Premier League championship and four Cups.

FK Sarajevo was established on 24 October 1946 as the result of a merger between football teams Udarnik (Vanguard) and Sloboda (Liberty). The club first appeared on the Yugoslav sports scene in 1946 under the name SD Torpedo. It played its first match on 3 November 1946. In 1947, the name was changed to SD Sarajevo, before changing to the current name in 1949.

FK Sarajevo first entered the top-flight Yugoslav First League after eliminating Belgrade club Sloga. They drew the first match 3–3 in Novi Sad, but then won second match 5-1 in Sarajevo. The team were relegated after their first season in the First League, but were promoted back immediately in 1950. From then, FK Sarajevo played in every season of the First League apart from 1957–58.

The Bosnian War in the early 1990s shut down competitive football in the territory, and as a result FK Sarajevo became a touring club in 1993, featuring players such as Fuad Muzurović, among others played Elvir Baljić, Almir Turković and Mirza Varešanović. Many of the club’s supporters, including the infamous Horde Zla (Hordes of Evil) joined the Bosnian army and fought in the war. FK Sarajevo played a friendly game against the local peacekeepers in 1994, and won 4–1.

FK Sarajevo’s rivalry with fellow Sarajevo club FK Željezničar is mainly focussed on the former animosity between the capital’s working class and elite, although in recent years residents of all classes have supported both teams. During the post-conflict FK Sarajevo has close ties to current political elite in Bosnia and Herzegovina as it did with local municipal leaders prior to the war and FK Željezničar is rooted in the working class, this derby came to represent the “conservative centripetal forces”.

As of 15 May 2009, 95 Sarajevo Derbies have been played in league competition, with 29 wins by either club and 37 draws. Of the 32 matches played in the Bosnian Premier League. FK Sarajevo have won 10 times, compared to 8 by Željezničar.
