Košarkaški klub Crvena zvezda (Serbian Cyrillic:Кошаркашки клуб Црвена звезда,transl. Red Star Basketball Club), usually referred to asKK Crvena zvezda or simplyCrvena zvezda, currently namedCrvena zvezda Meridianbet for sponsorship reasons,[4] is a men's professionalbasketballclub based inBelgrade,Serbia, and the major part of theRed Star multi-sports club. The club is a founding member and shareholder of theAdriatic Basketball Association,[5] and it competes in theSerbian League (KLS), theABA League, and the continental top-tierEuroLeague.
Crvena zvezda is regarded as one of themost successful clubs in Serbia history; their squads have won 24 National League championships, including 10-in-a-row and 9-in-a-row sequences. They have played in three different National Leagues since 1945, including theYugoslav First Federal League (1945–1992), theFirst League of Serbia and Montenegro (1992–2006) and the Serbian League (2006 onwards). They have also won 14 National Cup titles, 7 Adriatic League Championships, oneAdriatic Supercup, and oneFIBA Saporta Cup. The club plays home matches in theBelgrade Arena. Zvezda's supporters are known asDelije.
The Zvezda's rise to dominance began in their inaugural season by winning the 1946 Yugoslav Championship.FIBA Hall of Fameplayer-coachNebojša Popović andAleksandar Gec, along with a talented supporting cast of futureHall of FamersAleksandar Nikolić andBorislav Stanković, would lead Crvena zvezda into the greatest period in club history, winning ten consecutive Yugoslav championships in as many seasons throughout the 1940s and early 1950s. After the retirement of Popović in 1956, Zvezda entered a period of rebuilding. Led by forwardVladimir Cvetković and future FIBA Hall of Fame point guardZoran Slavnić, Zvezda returned to championship caliber, winning two Yugoslav championships in 1969 and 1972. Crvena zvezda won the onlyEuropean-wide competition in club history, theFIBA European Cup Winner's Cup in1974. The club struggled throughout the 1980s with a talented cast led by point guardZoran Radović and FIBA Hall of Fame coachRanko Žeravica.
Zvezda again returned to dominance in the 1990s following thebreakup of Yugoslavia and joining the league with Serbian and Montenegrin clubs. Led by guardSaša Obradović, Crvena zvezda won the 1993 and 1994 championships. The club also won one more title in 1998. After winning 15 championships throughout the 20th century, Zvezda, now competing in the Adriatic and the Serbian League, after struggling through the 2000s, rose again to dominance in the late 2010s. The Crvena zvezda squads won nine consecutive Serbian championships (2015–2024) and seven Adriatic championships in the same nine-year span.[Note 1]
Zvezda has a notablerivalry withPartizan. The rivalry started immediately after the creation of the two clubs in 1945 and the two clubs have been dominant in domestic basketball since then. The Partizan legends and futureHall of Fame playersDražen Dalipagić andVlade Divac had their stints with Zvezda in the 1990s.
Crvena zvezda is the only club in the world to have produced two members now in the Hall of Fame (Stanković and Nikolić) and four in the FIBA Hall of Fame (Stanković, Popović,Radomir Šaper, and Nikolić). The four of them have the highestOrder of Merit fromFIBA.[6]
The club was founded on 4 March 1945, as a basketball section of theCrvena zvezda Sports Society. By winning the first of ten consecutive championship titles after theSecond World War, the golden age of Crvena zvezda began.[7] No domestic national selection could be imagined without seven or eight Zvezda's players and the first five featuredNebojša Popović,Tullio Rochlitzer,Aleksandar Gec,Ladislav Demšar, andSrđan Kalember. They first played in an open-air court at theKalemegdan fortress.
That long-awaited eleventh title was won in the1968–69 season, when Crvena zvezda won all six games againstJugoplastika,Zadar andPartizan, therefore proving to be better than all three fierce rivals. Led byVladimir Cvetković, the title was won byDragan Kapičić,Zoran Lazarević,Ivan Sarjanović,Ljubodrag Simonović, Srđan Škulić,Zoran Slavnić,Tihomir Pavlović,Nemanja Đurić, Miroslav Todosijević,Dragiša Vučinić and Dubravko Kapetanović. At that time, they were the youngest championship-winning team in Yugoslavian basketball. The twelfth title was won in the1971–72 season. In the 1970s the club won theYugoslav Cup three times, and most of the work in those years was done by Slavnić, Simonović, Kapičić, Vučinić, andŽivković. This generation of players won two national championships and three national cups.
Crvena zvezda also had significant international success, having played in five continental cup finals so far. They lost the firstEuropean Cup Winners' Cup finals to Italian powerhouseSimmenthal Milano in1972 by a score of 70–74. Then, in1974, they defeatedSpartak ZJŠ Brno fromCzechoslovakia by a score of 86–75.[8] This team's third finals in the European Cup Winners' Cup were lost toSpartak Leningrad by a score of 62–63 in1975. In the club's firstKorać Cup finals, in Paris in1984, the FrenchOrthez won by a score of 97–73. In the Korać Cup second finals in1998, Zvezda played two matches withRielo Mash Verona from Italy; they won the away match, 74–68, but lost at home, 64–73. With the total score being 138–141, they did not win the trophy.
The 1990s started promisingly. Throughout the1991–92 season, which was the last one in Yugoslavia, Crvena zvezda played some inspired basketball, reaching the play-off finals versus arch-rival Partizan that coached byŽeljko Obradović won the EuroLeaguethat season. In a twist of fate, Crvena zvezda was led that season by the legendary Partizan coachDuško Vujošević. Though they lost the finals series, the youngCrveno-beli team showed plenty of promise. The thirteenth championship title was won after a gap of no less than 21 years, in 1993. In the fifth match of the play-off finals, Crvena zvezda beat fierce rivals andPionir Hall co-tenants Partizan. The players who won that championship title are:Saša Obradović,Nebojša Ilić,Zoran Jovanović,Mile Marinković,Nikola Jovanović,Mileta Lisica,Dejan Tomašević,Dragoljub Vidačić,Aleksandar Trifunović,Rastko Cvetković,Slobodan Kaličanin,Predrag Stojaković andSrđan Jovanović. In the next season, Crvena zvezda won its fourteenth national championship title. In the play-off finals, Partizan was beaten by 4–1 overall. The Zvezda won the championship for the fifteenth time in 1998. The main star of that team was without any doubt Yugoslavian national team power forwardMilenko Topić, and other influential players wereIgor Rakočević,Oliver Popović, andZlatko Bolić.
In the early part of 2002, the club got complete new management. Individuals from the political and business milieu close to rulingDemocratic Party, such as Živorad Anđelković, Goran Vesić, and Igor Žeželj, took over key positions in the club.
From summer 2002 onward, the project calledEvropska Zvezda (The European Red Star) was thought up in order to slowly and methodically return the club on the path of its former glory by achieving results that would see the club playEuroLeague again. To that end, new management hiredSlovenian coachZmago Sagadin who became the Zvezda's organizational centerpiece. In his first season, Sagadin did not actually coach the team (the formal head coach role was given toAleksandar Trifunović), but he did make all the important personnel decisions from the role of a sporting director. Under Sagadin's guidance, Crvena zvezda entered theAdriatic League (a privately owned regional competition in which he holds ownership stake) for the2002–03 season. In August 2003, ahead of the2003–04 season, Sagadin took over the coaching duties formally as well. Despite all the efforts, the club did not manage to win any major trophies in this period, and in November 2004 Sagadin got fired.
In the next couple of years the club struggled to get back on a winning streak, and only managed to win the 2004 and 2006 national cup (Radivoj Korać Cup) finals. The first of them was held inNovi Sad, where Crvena zvezda beat the National Champion Partizan, then the hostVojvodina and, finally,FMP Železnik. All three matches were won in overtime, which is something to remember, especially when it is known that those matches were played without some of the best players, including the team captainIgor Rakočević who missed the final match. Besides Rakočević, the cup was won byGoran Jeretin,Vuk Radivojević,Milan Dozet,Miloš Mirković,Norman Richardson,Milko Bjelica, Aleksandar Đurić,Vladislav Dragojlović,Luka Bogdanović,Čedomir Vitkovac andAleksej Nešović. The 2006 cup was won inBelgrade when Crvena zvezda won superiorly againstHemofarm Vršac by 80–65. The team was coached byDragan Šakota and featured the likes of Goran Jeretin,Milan Gurović,Gerrod Henderson,Miroslav Raičević,Larry O'Bannon,Igor Milošević, Vujadin Subotić,Nenad Mišanović, Vladislav Dragojlović, Čedomir Vitkovac, Vuk Radivojević andPero Antić.
With the failure of the project "European Red Star" in 2008, Slobodan Vučićević became the president of Crvena zvezda and brought new life into the club.Svetislav Pešić became the head coach, and a new team was assembled, including some notable players such asNemanja Bjelica,Marko Kešelj,Vladimir Štimac,Andre Owens,Lawrence Roberts but the club failed to win a trophy that year, and at the end of the season, both Slobodan Vučićević and Svetislav Pešić left the club.
In the following two seasons, the club experienced a decline and financial problems, which culminated in the 2010–11 season when the club had a budget of only 500.000 euros. Crvena zvezda finished 13th in the Adriatic League, and 5th in the Serbian league, failing to qualify for the Adriatic League the following season.
A huge debt of 15 million euros threatened the very existence of the club.[9] The club was saved from bankruptcy whenNebojša Čović became president of KK Crvena Zvezda, merging them withKK FMP.[10] He prepared a plan for financial reorganization. In the first year of his presidency,Svetislav Pešić became a head coach for the second time.[11] Even though the season was without success in the Adriatic League, Pešić managed to bring his team to the finals, eventually losing to a much stronger Partizan team 3–1 in the series. Pešić left the club at the end of the season, and his assistantMilivoje Lazić became the new head coach.[12] Crvena zvezda had big ambitions for the 2012–13 season, bringing backIgor Rakočević for the 3rd time, and signing players such asDeMarcus Nelson,Elton Brown andBoris Savović. But Lazić was fired after only 2 games in the season after losing the games against KK Zadar and KK Split, andVlada Vukoičić was brought in to replace him.[13] Vukoicic managed to win the Serbian cup and managed to advance to the Last 16EuroCup stage, but he was sacked as well after a very bad start in the domestic league.Dejan Radonjić replaced him,[14] but he was unable to win the Adriatic League and the Serbian League, losing toPartizan in both finals.
The season of 2013–14 was a historic one for the club, as Crvena zvezda was back in theEuroLeague after 15 years. The club had a very successful season in the European competitions, led by the new signingsCharles Jenkins,Blake Schilb,Jaka Blažič andBoban Marjanović and had a record of 4–6 in the group stage of the EuroLeague. This was not enough to advance to the knockout phase, but the team did reach the semifinals of theEuroCup. Crvena zvezda was eventually eliminated in the semifinals of the Adriatic league, losing to Cibona, and failed to win the domestic title yet again, losing toPartizan in a series which will be remembered more by incidents and a brawl in game 1.[15]
In the summer of 2014, Crvena zvezda signedNikola Kalinić[16] andStefan Jović[17] fromRadnički Kragujevac, NBA prospectNemanja Dangubić,[18] centerMaik Zirbes[19] and finalized a huge signing of point guardMarcus Williams.[20] In season 2014–15, the club participated in EuroLeague,[21] winning 6 out of 10 games in regular season, reachingTop 16 and seeing its average home attendance rising to 14483.[22] In the Adriatic league, it set a new record of 20 consecutive victories,[23] ending league competition with score 24–2, losing only to Krka and Partizan. In the playoffs, Zvezda triumphed overPartizan 3–1 in the semifinals,[24] and 3–1 overCedevita Zagreb in the finals,[25] winning its first trophy in this competition and securing a place in Euroleague in the 2015–2016 season. Zvezda also wonRadivoj Korać Cup for the third time in a row.[26] InBasketball League of Serbia, Zvezda entered playoffs with 13 wins and only one lost game. In the semifinals, it defeated Mega Leks 2–0, and in the final triumph over great rival Partizan, 3–0.[27]
The team started preparing for the 2015–16 season by re-signing coach Radonjić[28] and guardBranko Lazić[29] for two years each. Team captain Luka Mitrović extended his contract until summer 2017. Williams, Marjanović, Kalinić, Jenkins, and Blažič left the club, and the roster was reinforced bySofoklis Schortsanitis,Stefan Nastić,Ryan Thompson andGal Mekel. From its development teamFMP, Zvezda promoted MVP of2015 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship,Marko Gudurić. The first part of the season was marked by mixed results and a lot of squad changes. Due to serious injuries of Mitrović and Dangubić, the club brought backMarko Simonović, and later on, landedQuincy Miller. Out-of-form Schortsanitis and Mekel were replaced byVladimir Štimac and returning Marcus Williams. Mid-season, the club also released Williams and Thompson, replacing them withVasilije Micić andTarence Kinsey. Results improved, and Crvena zvezda ended group stage of EuroLeague with a 5–5 score, reaching the third place of Group A, qualifying for Top 16 stage.[30] Successful European season continued as Zvezda ended fourth in Top 16 Group E, with a score of 7 wins and seven losses.[31] In the playoffs, it was stopped byCSKA Moscow, who eventually went on to lift EuroLeague trophy. In ABA league, Zvezda entered playoffs from the second position, facing another EuroLeague team – Cedevita – and, defeating them twice, advanced to final series.[32] In the finals, Zvezda pulled a 3–0 againstMega Leks, defending the ABA league title. Zvezda ended another spectacular season by defending the Serbian league title beatingPartizan 3–1 in the finals.[33]
The2016–17 season saw the Zvezda parting ways with its two-star players, Zirbes and Miller, as well as Kinsey, Štimac and Micić. During the pre-season, the club signedOgnjen Kuzmić,[34]Milko Bjelica[35] andCharles Jenkins,[36] brought talentedPetar Rakićević[37] and promotedOgnjen Dobrić from its development team.[38] When the season already began, the club brought onNate Wolters who was waived byDetroit Pistons.[39] Squad was finally completed mid-season, with the addition ofDeon Thompson to the roster.[40] Building on previous years tactics, Zvezda's trademark became its strong, aggressive defense, pressure on the ball, intercepting passes, steals and resulting fast breaks.[41][42] In January 2017, coach Dejan Radonjić achieved his 200th victory leading Zvezda.[43] He also brought anotherRadivoj Korać Cup to the team.[44] Zvezda has ended the regular ABA league season with 25 wins on their record while losing only once, which was the best regular-season record made by any team in the history of the regional competition so far.[45] Team narrowly stayed out of Top 8, ending up on 9th place, having the same number of victories as 8th placedDarussafaka, but having worse head-to-head record. However, it decisively defended ABA league trophy, defeating Budućnost (2-1) and Cedevita (3-0) on its way.[46] In the domestic championship, Zvezda ended league part with the score of 13–1, defeated Mega Leks (2-0) and FMP (3-0) in the playoffs, and lifted another trophy.

During thesummer of 2017, the head coach Radonjić did not sign a new contract, and the club parted ways with no less than eleven players, including key figures in the last couple of years such as Simonović, captain Mitrović, Jenkins, Jović, Kuzmić, and Gudurić. Young prospectDušan Alimpijević was named as the head coach.[47][48] Depleted roster was reinforced byJames Feldeine andTaylor Rochestie, veteransPero Antić andMarko Kešelj and a quartet of young players:Mathias Lessort,Nikola Radičević,Stefan Janković andNikola Jovanović. Zvezda also brought inDragan Apić,Dejan Davidovac andStefan Lazarević from its development team FMP. Half of the rebuilt team has not previously played a single game in EuroLeague. Breaking with defense-oriented philosophy of Radonjić era, the staple of the Zvezda's game became 3 point shot. In December 2017, the roster was further strengthened with combo guardDylan Ennis, while Apić and Lazarević got loaned back to FMP.[49] The last player to arrive was Slovenian national team centerAlen Omić,[50] while underperforming Radičević parted ways with the club. Zvezda finished first in the regular part of ABA League, having 19 wins and 3 losses, and reached finals by defeatingMornar 2–1 in series, but lost 3–1 in final series toBudućnost. The defeat meant that the club will not participate in EuroLeague next year, which triggered downsizing. Management terminated contract with Dylan Ennis and Milko Bjelica, and reinforced squad withFilip Čović and young prospectAleksa Radanov from FMP.[51] Poor start in domestic KLS forced coach Alimpijević to resign, and his assistant Milenko Topić took over as interim head coach. The modified team managed to win the Superleague title, beating FMP in the finals, but the season was generally deemed to be unsuccessful due to failure to secure a spot in Euroleague.
Squad rebuilding prior to the2018–19 season started with signingMilan Tomić as a head coach. Soon to follow were the playersBilly Baron,Michael Ojo and two centers from Radonjić era:Maik Zirbes andDušan Ristić. The Zvezda also added experiencedStratos Perperoglou andMouhammad Faye, as well as point guardJoe Ragland. The last one to sign was combo guardNemanja Nenadić from the development team FMP. Zvezda started season well, convincingly winningABA League Super Cup tournament by beating last season champion Budućnost in the final game.[52] Tomić struck a great balance between hard defense and versatile offense, causing team to grab the first spot at the beginning of ABA League, as well asEuroCup Group A. Bad streak in the EuroCup during November, caused Zvezda to finish the group phase on the third spot, which was still good enough for it to advance to the next stage. In the ABA League, the Zvezda ended the first part of the season with 11–0, having defeated every opponent in the league. Zvezda ended the 2018-19 EuroCup season in Top 16 stage, reaching third out of four places in group G. Mid-February roster was strengthened by signing experienced guardK. C. Rivers.[53] Zvezda entered ABA playoffs from the first position, having 21 win and one loss. In semifinals, Zvezda eliminated Partizan 2-1 despite losing starting playmaker Ragland at the beginning of match one due to a knee injury. In the finals, Zvezda clashed with last year's champions KK Budućnost and defeated them 3–2 in series,[54] despite playing without injured Perperoglou in the last three matches.[55] In theSerbian Super League, the Zvezda won all 10 league games, downed Mega Bemax in playoffs semifinals 2–0, and triumphed over Partizan in final series 3–1.[56]

Prior to the2019–20 season, the club extended contracts with Baron, Čović, Dobrić, Faye, Lazić,Boriša Simanić, and Perperoglou, brought back Jenkins and Kuzmić, as well as signedDerrick Brown,James Gist andLorenzo Brown.[57][58][59] Zvezda entered season poorly, getting relegated from ABA Supercup in the first match, losing 2 out of 3 games in ABA and having the same score in Euroleague. Coach Milan Tomić resigned less than a month after the season kicked off,[60] leaving assistantAndrija Gavrilović, who never held a head coach position before, as an interim solution. Gavrilović failed to make any notable progress, which added to the bad atmosphere around the club. Upset by his poor performances, Zvezda fans started booing Filip Čović.[61][62] Club management reacted at the end of December, hiring Dragan Šakota as a coach and reinforcing squad withVladimir Štimac andKevin Punter. Derrick Brown and Mo Faye agreed with the club to terminate their contracts in January. Mid-February Zvezda transferred Čović and Kuzmić to FMP, bringing inKalin Lucas instead. An outbreak ofCOVID-19 pandemic brought EuroLeague and ABA seasons to a standstill mid-March. At that point, the Zvezda held 3rd position in ABA with one round left to be played, and the 14th position in EuroLeague, with six rounds remaining. Both competitions ended without a champion, and EuroLeague decided to stick with the same clubs in the next season.
The Zvezda entered the2020–21 season hiring club's legendSaša Obradović as the new head coach.[63] The club started building the new squad by signingJordan Loyd,[64]Corey Walden,[65]Langston Hall[66] andEmanuel Terry.[67]Aleksa Radanov,Aleksa Uskoković andDuop Reath got promoted from the development team. Soon after the season start, Zvezda signedTaylor Rochestie[68] on a short-term contract and completed a huge signing ofJohnny O'Bryant.[69] However, the team performed below expectations, winning only 5 out of 16 games in Euroleague opening stages and losing in ABA to another title contenderKK Budućnost, so coach Obradović and the club decided to part ways. Obradović was replaced byDejan Radonjić, Zvezda's all-time leader in both regular-season games coached and wins. The club also parted ways with Rochestie and Emanuel Terry and reinforced the squad withQuino Colom andLandry Nnoko. Despite missing five important players due to COVID-19, Zvezda won the Serbian national cup. It was the 10th Radonjić's trophy on Zvezda helm. Right after the cup tournament, Zvezda parted ways with O'Bryant. Soon to follow were departures of Simanić and Colom, as the coach was seeking a way to trim down the roster. Zvezda finished regular part of the ABA league in the first place, with 23 wins and 3 losses. The semifinals duel with KK Igokea was won 2–1 despite struggling with injury problems, most notably the starting playmaker Walden. In the finals, Zvezda triumphed against Budućnost with 3–2 in series, relying once again on Radonjić's trademark aggressive defense.[70] In the Serbian Super League, Zvezda put on a dominant performance on its road to finals, beating in process KK Zlatibor and KK Borac Čačak. In the final series, Zvezda defeated Mega Soccerbet 2–1, despite Walden missing all the games due to back injury and Loyd getting injured in game 1 and missing games 2 and 3. This was the third triple crown under coach Radonjić, and the third one in club's history.
For the2021–22 season, the club focused on keeping its domestic players base and expanding it by re-signing five of Zvezda's former players:Luka Mitrović,Nate Wolters,Stefan Lazarević,Maik Zirbes and most importantlyNikola Kalinić. Zvezda also added experiencedAaron White andAustin Hollins, as well as the former key player of its rival Budućnost,Nikola Ivanović. Once again putting a heavy emphasis on defense and transition, Zvezda won MagentaSport Cup preseason tournament[71] by beatingPanathinaikos and home sideBayern, but Aaron White suffered a broken arm.[72] In November, Zvezda added former Serbia national team point guardStefan Marković.[73] In February Zvezda won the Serbian national cup, triumphing decisively in the final game over Partizan led by Željko Obradović.[74] The club ended its Euroleague season sharing 9th spot with Baskonia and Alba, having 12 wins and 14 defeats. It also finished regular part of the ABA league in the first place, with 24 wins and 2 losses, securing home court advantage in the playoffs. Zvezda defeated Cedevita Olimpija 2–1 in the semifinals, and triumphed over Partizan 3-2 in the final series, lifting its 6th ABA league trophy. In Serbian Super League playoff, Zvezda knocked out Mega Mozzart (2–1) and defeated FMP in the finals (2–0), completing the fourth triple crown in its history, and fourth under the same coach.
In the summer of 2022, coach Radonjić decided not to extend the contract with Zvezda. Several key players from the past season followed suit and left the club as well: Kalinić, Wolters, Hollins, Davidovac. Zvezda hired head coach of theSerbia national under-20 team,Vladimir Jovanović. He started building a new squad by signing Zvezda's former starNemanja Nedović,Ben Bentil,Jaylen Adams andHassan Martin, added depth with veteransJohn Holland andMiroslav Raduljica, as well as young Serbian prospectsFilip Petrušev andDalibor Ilić. In October the club completed a major transfer by bringing inLuca Vildoza,[75] and reached a mutual agreement to terminate the contract of underperforming Jaylen Adams.[76] After a poor start in Euroleague (1–6) and an upset loss on a home court to Zadar in ABA league, Zvezda replaced coach Jovanović withDuško Ivanović.[77] Ivanović made an immediate impact with 10 games won in a row, 6 of which in Euroleague. Late in December, Zvezda signedFacundo Campazzo, but was prevented to register him to play the Euroleague until March due to a ban.[78] On-form Vildoza was chosen as the Euroleague MVP for December[79] In February Zvezda won the Serbian national cup, beating Borac, Partizan and Mega in process. It was the first trophy Zvezda won under Duško Ivanović. The club ended Euroleague season in 10th position, with 17 victories and 17 losses. In June, it won its 23rd national title by defeating FMP in the final series, but lost ABA final series against Partizan, 3-2.
In line with previous seasons, the club was not able to keep its key players. Campazzo, Vildoza and Petrušev left, along with Dobrić, Nikola Ivanović, Holland, Martin, Bentil and Raduljica, while Stefan Marković retired. Uncharacteristically, Zvezda built a new squad early by bringing in no less than nine new players:Miloš Teodosić,Shabazz Napier,Joel Bolomboy,Mike Tobey,Ádám Hanga,Rokas Giedraitis,Yago dos Santos,Marko Simonović andDejan Davidovac. On 21 October, club announced that they have parted ways with head coach Duško Ivanović after slow Euroleague start of one win and four defeats. He was the head coach of the club since November 2022, and during his tenure club won Serbian League and Serbian Cup titles. On the next day, the club hired Greek coachIoannis Sfairopoulos as their new head coach. The results continued to suffer due to a string of injuries, as well as underperformance of Shabazz Napier as a key player, which led to a mutual termination of his contract. The club also parted ways with Ognjen Kuzmić and Marko Simonović, and brought inFreddie Gillespie and a rising young starNikola Topić. Unfortunately, Topić got injured after only three games in Zvezda jersey, so the club had to reinforce its depleted roster by signingJavonte Smart and adding a recovering veteranTrey Thompkins. Injury-riddled Zvezda managed to win another national cup in February by defeating Partizan in the final game, but kept underperforming in Euroleague, ending its campaign in 16th spot. In ABA league, however, Zvezda secured the first place in the regular season, entering the playoffs with home court advantage. In the playoffs, Zvezda eliminatedSC Derby (2-0),Mega Basket (2-0) andPartizan (3-0), winning its second trophy of the season. Zvezda finished the season by winning Serbian league, beating KK FMP 2-0 in semifinals and KK Partizan 2-0 in the finals. The second game of the finals ended with Crvena Zvezda taking a 20-0 following the Game 2 suspension.[80] Finals MVP award was given to Dejan Davidovac.
Building squad for the season 2024/2025 began with extending contracts for a number of players: Giedraitis and Lazić signed for 2 more years, Teodosić for one additional season, while Bolomboy signed 2-year extension back in January. New reinforcements were the club iconNikola Kalinić,Codi Miller-McIntyre,Isaiah Canaan,Ognjen Dobrić,Mike Daum andUroš Plavšić. Zvezda started the season with mixed results, losing two early games in the ABA League but performing strongly in the EuroLeague. The team's best-performing player, Joel Bolomboy, suffered an injury in late October, prompting the club to signFilip Petrušev. In December, they further strengthened the roster by bringing inJohn Brown III. On January 7, Zvezda extended coach Sfairopoulos' contract, securing his services through the end of the 2026/2027 season.[81] On February 15, Zvezda won the national cup by beating Partizan in overtime of the final game. Filip Petrušev became tournament MVP.[82] Zvezda played well throughout the year and finished the EuroLeague regular season with a 18-16 record - qualifying for a Play-In game againstFC Bayern Munich. In a one-off game in Munich, Bayern beat Zvezda. The rest of the season became a complete nightmare for Zvezda - Zvezda finished only fourth in the ABA standings, and defeatedIgokea m:tel 2-0 in a tough quarterfinal matchup. In the semifinals, Zvezda faced old rivalBudućnost VOLI, who finished first in the ABA league standings - the two teams split the series with two blowout wins, before a deciding clash in Podgorica - even throughout, Zvezda was still considered the heavy favorites of the competition. However, Budućnost shocked Zvezda with a buzzer-beating 81-78 victory and eliminated Zvezda 2-1 from the competition - the worst finish by Zvezda in the ABA league since 2014. In the Basketball League of Serbia, Zvezda again were considered the easy favorites, coming in winning the league nine consecutive times - a record. Partizan finished above Zvezda in the standings, with both teams qualifying for the semifinals with a bye. In the semifinals, Zvezda suffered one of the most embarrassing losses in club history whenKK Spartak Subotica beat Zvezda 2-0 in the semifinals, winning both in Belgrade and Subotica, ending the long win streak of winning the Serbian league for Zvezda. Rivals Partizan went on to win both the ABA league and the Serbian league.
The rivalry between Crvena zvezda andPartizan involves the two biggest and most storied basketball clubs in Serbia.
The two Belgrade-based clubs have won the two highest numbers of national titles in Serbia: Crvena zvezda have won 24, two more than Partizan. Together, they account for 17 of the48 national titles in Yugoslavia (1945–1992), 11 of14 national titles in Serbia and Montenegro (1992–2006), andall national titles in Serbia (2006 onwards). Also, the two clubs have won the two highest numbers of championships in theAdriatic League. Together, they account for 15 of 23 championships.
The rivalry betweenBudućnost and Crvena zvezda is anAdriatic League (ABA League) rivalry. While the two teams have played each other since Budućnost joined theYugoslav First Basketball League in1980, their rivalry began to develop in the 1990s through theSerbian-Montenegrin League and reached its peak in the Adriatic League during the late 2010s and early 2020s with 3-in-a-row League Finals (2018, 2019, and 2021).
The main colors of Crvena zvezda, since its foundation, are red and white. Thecrest is a redfive-pointed star, white and gold framed, on a red-whiteshield. In addition, the whole crest is framed with gold color. There are two golden stars on the top of their emblem, symbolizing the 20 national titles won. The typical kit of the team is a shirt with red and white vertical stripes and red or white shorts. Crvena zvezda used also as away kit or third kit, an all-blue jersey, but very rarely, so that the club used all the colors of theSerbian flag.
Since 1979, Crvena zvezda has a specific kit manufacturer and a kit sponsor. The following table details the shirt sponsors and kit suppliers by year:

Crvena zvezda has had several denominations through the years due to its sponsorship:
Crvena zvezda played their home games at theAleksandar Nikolić Hall, located in theBelgrade municipality ofPalilula. The arena, then named Pionir Hall, was built in 1973 in eleven months, byEnergoprojekt. Basketball was popular in Yugoslavia at the time, and although the Aleksandar Nikolić Hall hosted many different sports events (volleyball,handball) it became known as a basketball arena. It has a seating capacity of 8,000.[85][86][87]
Crvena zvezda plays their home matches at theBelgrade Arena, which has a seating capacity of 18,386 for basketball games.[88] Club holds the highest attendance records for three EuroLeague seasons:2014–15,2015–16, and2016–17. The Belgrade Arena is also the home of Zvezda's main rivalPartizan.
Delije is an umbrella name referring to the supporters of various sports clubs that compete under theRed Star Belgrade Sports Society banner. The name is derived from the Serbian worddelija, meaning "brave, hero". The name Delije first began to be used by hardcore Red Star supporters during the late 1980s, with the official inauguration taking place on 7 January 1989.
