# FK Budućnost Banatski Dvor

FK Budućnost Banatski Dvor (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Будућност Банатски Двор) was a football club based in Banatski Dvor, Vojvodina, Serbia. They competed in the First League of Serbia and Montenegro for two seasons in 2003–04 and 2005–06. The club also reached the final of the 2003–04 Serbia and Montenegro Cup, securing a spot in the 2004–05 UEFA Cup.

## History

Founded in 1929, the club began to climb up the leagues during the 1990s under the ownership of Yugoslav-Swiss businessman Mirko Vučurević. They placed first in each season between 1995–96 and 1998–99, earning four consecutive promotions to reach the Serbian League Vojvodina. The club subsequently finished as runners-up in the third tier and gained promotion to the Second League of FR Yugoslavia.
At the beginning of the new millennium, the club reached the quarter-finals of the FR Yugoslavia Cup in the 2000–01 season and the semi-finals two years later, losing to Red Star Belgrade on both occasions. They also won the Second League (Group North) in the 2002–03 season and took promotion to the First League of Serbia and Montenegro for the first time in history. However, the club was promptly relegated from the top flight, but managed to reach the final of the 2003–04 Serbia and Montenegro Cup, losing 1–0 to Red Star Belgrade. As a result, they earned a spot in the 2004–05 UEFA Cup, but were eliminated by Slovenian side Maribor on the away goals rule in the second qualifying round. The same season, the club earned promotion back to the top flight.
In January 2006, following the cessation of Proleter Zrenjanin, it was reported that Budućnost Banatski Dvor became Banat Zrenjanin. However, the club's transformation was finalized after the 2005–06 season.
