Tracing their origins back to the aftermath of World War II in 1945, Red Star football club has put down roots in their homeland of Serbia. They play host to their adversaries at the aptly named Stadion Rajko Mitić, with its grandeur matching the stature of the team itself.
While their current playing strength might seem at odds with traditional squad dimensions, being constituted of a lone player who has reached the ripe age of 32, it is the quality rather than quantity that Red Star are famed for. A solitary but experienced emissary of the beautiful game, one might say.
In the ongoing season, Red Star have been enthusiastically jostling on three fronts, tackling a flurry of competitions. They are currently holding their ground in a respectable second place in the SuperLiga; an admirable feat considering the rigorous competition in that tier of football. Alongside their domestic campaign, they have also been demonstrating their mettle in the controversial sphere of European football. After an electrifying performance in the Champions League Qualifiers that took them all the way to the playoff phase, they have now embarked on their journey in the League Phase of the Europa League.
