Return to Belgrade - Serbian Groundhop - Game 2 and 3

 Game 2 and 3


Friday November 28th 2025

FK Ušće Novi Beograd 1 FK Voždovac 3

Serbia Prva Liga 


Admission: Free

Programme - Nil but some did get hold of a teamsheet

Attendance: 121


This was a re-visit for a few on the hop but the ground had changed dramatically since their visit - low crowd due to a Friday lunchtime kick off ( for the benefit of betting firms) . Probably as many away fans present as home supporters. The ground just had one stand open today. The ground is overlooked by a large hill, one supporter had been before and said the trek to the top of the hill was difficult and probably impossible today due to the rain/ wet and mud! Our ex Military hopper, saw this as a challenge and made it to the top of the hill, soon followed by 11 others after he had made the route safe!


This enabled hoppers to get a great view of the ground, the church behind one goal and the large Soviet style housing estate close to the ground - before the game, we visited the church and also found within the estate some wall murals, that featured 'Del Boy' Cocktail in hand.


Football wise, the home team took the lead after 13 minutes, but they were outgunned in the second half with the visitors very threatening from every set piece.













FK Loznica 2 FK FAP Priboj 0

Serbia Prva Liga

Stadion Lagator


Admission: £2.25

Attendance: 298


Easy drive on quality toll roads got us to a city on the Bosnian border - one of a number of new grounds built for future Euro U21 championships that Serbia will co-host with Albania, stadium shared with another club from Belgrade ( even if the city is 90 minutes at least away)


An impressive ground, but a future 'white elephant' - The home team winning with two second half goals. Smooth drive back to Belgrade meant many of us could have a second night in the Bruno Bar.
