the first soccer ball. The local youth enthusiastically accepted the new game. Shortly after, the first club was founded, and it received the name of "Jagodina".
After few trainings, familiarization with the rules and marking the fields, everything was ready for the first match to be held with audience. But, until the Second World War only friendly games were played. Afterwords, the club competed in several lower league competitions. The first great success was achieved in the period between 1958 and 1962, when the club competed for the first time in the Yugoslav Second League

season when the club achieved promotion to the First League of FR Yugoslavia, which coincided with the 90-year anniversary of the club. The president of the club Duško Sekulić and three Vice-Presidents; Dragan Lazović, Darko Jovanović and Slobodan Bešević were the main people responsible for the recent success of the club, making them a solid Serbian club. Many players also contributed to this success, including: Ćurčić

In the season 2004/05
the club, having been relegated, was back in the top league, now called First League of Serbia and Montenegro. The Sports Director was Radovan Ćurčić, who now as a coach, achieved the same success with the club, as when he was a player. The club had some fine players: Bondžulić
, Lišanin, Simić, Bogdanović
, Žunić
, Vasić

, Ramić, Radosavljević
, Odita

(Serbian second tier).
