The 9th edition of the Serb hop took place between 27 November and 1 December 2025
My 5th Serb hop, some similarities with the Romanian version but there are some differences, I love this hop but it is not for everyone, it is not just about the football but also the culture, meeting other fans from different countries but at the same time visiting some great stadiums - if getting in as many games as possible is your thing, this is not for you - having a group meal, visiting an Orthodox Church, an occasional monastery, enjoy a bottle of the local spirit with both teams after a game are all part of the experience.
The Serb hop is also a great one for supporters making their first trips outside the UK, in the company of supporters from the UK, Denmark and Norway - sharing information, trying to include everyone is also part of the ethos of these hops - and re-visits not an issue - as obvious any new visitor to Serbia will want to see both Red Star and Partizan.
32 of us were on the 9th version of the hop, coming from Serbia, UK, Norway and Denmark - some arriving early on the Wednesday to see Red Star in a top basketball match. We had 7 games planned 6 from the top 2 divisions and one non-league game. 3 re-visits (if you had been on every Serb hop) but an option to miss one of those games to see the Red Star Ice Hockey team play.
