Partizan stadium is a construction with a longest sports tradition in ex-Yugoslavia. It resides at the spot which was always in a midst of most important football events in the country. Before the Second World War, it was a football ground and a home of famous BSK- Belgrade`s Sports Club.
Soon after "The Great War", and with utter respect for sports tradition, works on a new football ground started on exactly the same spot. First post-war match on newly built stadium took place on 9th of October 1949, and rivals were Yugoslavia and France, drawing 1:1 in a World Cup Qualifier tie. Right to these days, Partizan stadium hosted dozens of greatest world football clubs and national teams. It is a true part of world and European football history.

This fact is confirmed by the number of players who attended Partizan Academy and went on to play in senior Partizan FC team, many European and world clubs, as well as in all national sides of Serbia. In 2004. UEFA announced our academy is best in Europe, alongside Ajax FC`s one.
Our youth sides are receiving a lot of invitations to attend European youth tournaments and there were many successes and awards on team and individual level.
Recognisable working style of Partizan Academy consists of- before all- skill, desire to outplay, efficiency and fair-play. Partizan Football Academy established its working programme on those basis, one that accepts basic values of football play, where mastership is recognized as greatest asset and strength of a player, play and club.
youngsters - age between 10 and 18, and set in age groups - are learning the football algebra every day, while care has been taken of their growing up, forming, learning and sport spirit. That branchy and expensive job has to be coordinated and organized in a proper manner to form not only a football player, but sportsmen and human beings, also. All that requiers lot of effort, will, patience, love and understanding...But, that`s a great investment into the future, too.
Partizan firmly believes this is the only right path and obligation towards sport from every great club.
