Last season’s fourth-ranked team from the Serbian championship moved the home game to a small town 40 km away. The reason? The current stadium, Gradski Stadium, is undergoing renovation.
The other option would have been the Partizan stadium in Belgrade, but the FCSB rival chose a venue that would not favor the rojiblancos. Even if the grass looks fine, the others are in the third league!
Furthermore, the city is much closer to Hungary and the population is 80% of Hungarian origin.
