Beogradski košarkaški klub Radnički (Serbian: Београдски кошаркашки клуб Раднички), commonly referred to as Radnički Beograd, is a men's basketball club based in Belgrade, Serbia. The club plays in the 3rd-tier First Regional League of Serbia. Their home arena is the SC Šumice.

History

The club was founded on 7 June 1945 in the Belgrade's neighborhood of Crveni Krst, which is where their nickname krstaši (the Crusaders) comes from. Radnički achieved the biggest success during the 1970s, when the generation coached by Slobodan Ivković won the title of Yugoslav League champion in 1973. The club also won a Yugoslav Cup in 1976, and reached another cup final in 1978.

During the 1970s, Radnički also had good results in continental competitions. In 1974, they reached the semi-finals of the FIBA European Champions Cup, where they were stopped by reigning European champions, Ignis Varese.[1] In 1977, Radnički reached the finals of a FIBA European Cup Winners' Cup where they lost to Forst Cantù by a single point margin, 86–87.[2]
