Fk Javor Matis – Ivanjica (Serbian Cyrillic:ФК Јавор Матис – Ивањица) is a professionalfootball club based inIvanjica,Serbia. They compete in theSerbian SuperLiga, the top tier of Serbian football.
In 1912, a student named Milan Radojević brought the first footballball toIvanjica, which led to the formation of the club.[1] The team mostly played friendly matches before the conclusion ofWorld War II due to a lack of organized football competitions.[1] Between 1958 and 1962, they were close to achieving promotion to theYugoslav Second League.[1] However, the club never reached higher than the third level until the 1990s.
In 1994, led by managerSlavenko Kuzeljević, the club earned promotion to theSecond League of FR Yugoslavia after eliminatingZvezdara and Topličanin in the playoffs.[2] They spent the next eight years in the second tier, having their best season in1997–98, when they placed fourth in Group West.
In 2002, the club won the Second League (Group West) and took promotion to theFirst League of FR Yugoslavia for the first time in history.[3] They remained for justone season in the elite division, finishing bottom of the table.[4] During this time, the club became recognizable for featuring a number of young African footballers, mainly from Nigeria and Zimbabwe.[5] They earned another promotion to the top flight in2005, but again suffered relegation in thesame season.[6]
After underperforming in the2006–07 Serbian First League, the second tier of the restructured national league system, the club managed to convincingly win first place in the2007–08 season. Moreover, managerRadovan Ćurčić led his team to an unbeaten record and promotion to theSerbian SuperLiga.[1] They subsequentlyplaced fourth in the top flight, their highest league position to date. In 2012, the club celebrated its 100th anniversary.[7]
After a total of six consecutive seasons in the SuperLiga, the club suffered relegation in2014. However, they won promotion back in thenext season. The club subsequently made its greatest success by reaching the final of the2015–16 Serbian Cup, losing 2–0 toPartizan at theStadion Metalac.[8]
