Montenegro - Prodgorica, Low crowds but plenty of graffiti!

 Friday 30 October 2026

After 3 games in Albania - it was an early morning bus to Podgorica the capital of Montenegro - easy journey, arrived early and dropped at the main bus station in the capital. No games today, final dates and time for 1st Division fixtures only came out a few days before I arrived, it meant my only 1st Division game planned, was moved till after I had flown home. But the FA website was good for fixtures including U17 and U21 games, plus also got a link to the website for the Central area Third Division.

I was also armed with an article from EFW, written by the legend and my late friend Peter Miles, this helped me spend the Friday seeing all the cultural sites in around the city and also visit the main stadium, only a very short walk from the town centre, 3 sided and used by the main club side and the national team. By the ground was plenty of graffiti for the biggest team in the country - FK Buducnost Podgorica, but soon realised that graffiti was all over the city, not just near the . Most of it was well painted and for some reason the ultras also had a soft spot for Maradona.

Also visited the ground of a third division team that Peter mentioned, looked a great ground and I was lucky to have an Under 21 game pencilled in on the Sunday at the home of FK Zabjelo

An early night with 3 games planned for the Saturday and 2 or 3 on the Sunday
