When I received a message from my friend from Poland, that the group of European groundhoppers arrive on the eternal derby in Belgrade, I did not much thought and I immediately went to Belgrade. The first game that I watched in the company of true fans of football was between Čukarički and Banat. 

FK Čukarički is football club from Belgrade, Serbia. The club was founded in 1926. It was founded under the name ČSK and from the beginning was wearing black and white colors. Since 1948, the club carries current name. In the mid nineties enters into first division and has since steadily between the two highest-ranking competitions. The biggest success was winning the sixth place and playing in the UEFA Intertoto Cup. The club currently plays in 1.liga Srbija, which is the second tier of Serbian football. Their stadium is located at Banovo Brdo in the southwestern part of Belgrade since 1969 when it was built. After renovations capacity of the stadium is 3,500 seats. 

For today's match, admission was free and is gathered around 150 people. In the not-so-interesting game after five games without victory Čukarički won 2-0.
When the match ended, after a short refreshing break, we're heading to the scene of eternal derby.

Cold, windy but dry weather in Belgrade. The only game in town on Tuesday. What else could I do but go there, on the Red Star Stadium (Stadion Crvene Zvezde) but the majority just called him "Marakana". The stadium is multi use stadium and is used for football matches and athletic competitions. The stadium is all-seated and the capacity is around 53,000 seats. It is the home stadium of FK Crvena Zvezda (eng. Red Star) but is also in most cases, the stadium where plays national team. I often came upon him exactly in those circumstances, to support national team. 
The first football stadium in this location was constructed in 1927. That stadium was demolished in 1959 and on the its grounds started to build new, which was finished in 1963. Then he had a capacity of almost 110,000 viewers and therefore got the nickname "Marakana". Today the figure is significantly reduced by placing a chair on all four stand following the modernization of football facilities and respecting the rigorous demands of UEFA.
Back to game. In today's duel host was the favorite against a second league football team. We met Banat some time ago, you can see here. I went to the East where the tickets cost 400 rsd. To the north were the most dedicated fans, Delije. That stand was the most visited. It was still viewers in the east and west while the south was empty. "Red and White" have much trouble in this duel, during 90 minutes did not have any real goal chance against guests who fiercely defended and dangerously threatened from the counterattack. Fans from north again seek victory, but with play of their players can not be satisfied. At the end of the match, the most interesting things have happened. In 75 minutes the first goalkeeper from Africa defended for Red Star. It's not a joke. Up to this point the host has made all three substitutions of players. Then their goalkeeper was sent off but defender from Ghana stood at the goal. And when all expected penalty shootouts, referee at 96 minutes showed the penalty for Red Star. Added time was 5 minutes! Penalty, goal and the end of the match.

Wednesday. What man could do when he is on vacation. To see some football. After lunch I decided to go with car to this match in the 130 km away Zrenjanin. Zrenjanin is the largest city in Banat district and the sixth largest city of Serbia. I think such a great city deserves a premiership (superleague) club. It was the home town of FK Proleter from 1947 until 2005. Today, FK Banat plays its games at town´s stadium in Karađorđev Park. FK Banat founded in 2006, when Budućnost from Banatski Dvor and Proleter merged. After three seasons in the first rank of competition, playing third season in the second rank of the competition, which is called first Serbia league. This stadium in Karađorđev Park have a capacity of 13500 seats or a total of about 18000 spectators. He was released in a function in 1954, and has been reconstructed in 1967. Seats were placed on the east and the west stand, which is only partially covered. At the stadium scoreboard is digital, which of course did not work today. It is interesting that the players on the pitch coming from an underground tunnel. It was expected more in this match, but there was almost no chance for goal. And what is the rarity, only two corners (first in 81.minute!) both for guests. Regardless of the result It was my pleasure to come to this stadium. I forgot to say that the admission was free, so I always somehow feel sorry because I do not have precious piece of paper in the possession, a ticket.
