FK Šumadija 1903

FK Šumadija 1903 (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Шумадија 1903) is a football club in Kragujevac, Serbia.

The answer lay adjacent to the park where there was a playing field which would be perfect for the newly formed club.

On April 23, 1904, Šumadija played their first official match in front of a large crowd.

On June 15, 1911, Bačka contacted Šumadija to arrange a friendly match in Subotica.

This defeat was so demoralising that the club came very close to folding, but it was the words of "Čika Dača" that held everything together.

From 1930 until the beginning of the Second World War, Šumadija competed in the Šumadijske župe and Kragujevac Football Subassociation leagues.

During that time Šumadija finished in the top half of the table in most seasons and also played a number of friendlies throughout Serbia.

Radnički players were eating for free in the 'Moscow' tavern and wore red hats.

The Šumadija staff, players and fans all declared themselves as Chetniks, and not many of them survived the war.

Through much of this time the club competed in the lower leagues of Yugoslav football and won several tournaments.
