Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is a city of contrasts – where tranquility mingles with noise, peace coexists with conflict, and spirit intertwines with science. Steeped in a rich and tumultuous history, Belgrade boasts glorious cuisine that has been meticulously tested and proven to be delicious, captivating art, and a populace brimming with passion.
From music to food, art to history, sports to parks, and everything in between, Belgrade offers a tapestry of experiences that cater to every taste and interest. But perhaps most notably, it’s the fierce rivalry between the city’s two football giants, Red Star and Partizan, that truly embodies the essence of Belgrade’s sporting culture.
Known worldwide as “Eternal Belgrade,” this rivalry extends beyond the football pitch, permeating through various sports including basketball and handball. Born out of the ashes of the Second World War, these two clubs have fiercely contested not only against each other but also against other Yugoslavian powerhouses like Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split.
Yet, it’s the clashes between Red Star and Partizan that have garnered international attention, characterized by passionate fans, flag-waving, flares, and unfortunately, occasional outbreaks of violence. Nationalistic fervor, particularly in the early years, has added an extra layer of intensity to these matches, creating an atmosphere that is as electric as it is volatile.
In this immersive tour, led by Andrija, an English-speaking Homefans Local Host, you’ll delve deep into the heart of Belgrade’s football culture. Beginning in the Dorcol neighborhood, known as the stomping ground of Partizan fans, you’ll explore iconic graffiti depicting the club’s famous supporters before embarking on an exclusive tour of the legendary Red Star Stadium.
From the club museum to the hallowed grounds and even the famous tunnel, you’ll get an insider’s look into the history and heritage of Red Star Belgrade. Next, you’ll visit the Partizan stadium, where you’ll hear captivating tales of the stadium’s tumultuous past while soaking in the atmosphere of one of Serbia’s most historic sporting venues.
As the tour progresses to the Senjak neighborhood, home to fervent Red Star fans, you’ll witness the oldest graffiti in the city, guarded by dedicated supporters 24/7. Finally, you’ll cap off your experience with a visit to the Marakana Stadium, where you’ll indulge in the passion and intensity that defines Red Star’s home turf.
And what better way to conclude your journey than by sharing a drink with the local ultras, immersing yourself in the camaraderie and fervor that epitomizes Belgrade’s football culture. Get ready to dive deep into the heart of “Eternal Belgrade” and discover the true essence of Serbian football fandom.
