[edit] History

The club was founded in 1914. Club colors, white-red, were chosen to be the same as of Football Club Slavia Prague (Czech Republic). Club's biggest successes on the national level came during SFRY when it won the Yugoslav First League in 1966 and 1989, and was the runner-up in 1957, 1962 and 1975. In 1967, Vojvodina reached the quarter finals of the European Cup, before being knocked out in dramatic circumstances 2-1 on aggregate by eventual champions, Glasgow Celtic, courtesy of a last minute goal by Celtic captain Billy McNeill. After winning the European Cup by beating Inter Milan 2-1 in Lisbon on 25 May 1967, Celtic players said later that Vojvodina were the best side they had faced that season

It also participated in the Yugoslav Cup and reached the finals in 1951 and 1997. Vojvodina played in Intertoto cup final in 1998. In 2007 the club once again reached the domestic cup final and again failing to take home the trophy.
