FC RUDAR 1945 RADLJEVO
Club history
FC Rudar was founded in 1945. August 6 was chosen as the club’s day, which was also the day of the miners.
There was a coal mine in Radljevo back in 1938, owned by Pera Putnik. After the war, the same mine was nationalized. The club was founded by the then workers of the mine, whose leaders were Franjo Medvešćak and a certain Andrić with the nickname Commissar.
In 1948, the club was taken over by Miodrag Ilić from Radljevo. The first post-war players of FC Rudar were Gavrić Jovo, Medvešćak Franjo, Nedeljković Sasa and others. From that period, a friendly match was recorded in 1952 in Radljevo, which was played between FK Rudar and FK Milicionar from Belgrade, and which the home team won 6: 1.
In the 1973/74 competition season. In the regional league Valjevo, the team of Rudar won the 1st place and entered the higher rank of the Podrinje-Kolubara region, which at that time was in the rank of the current Serbian league.
