FK Spartak Subotica

Fudbalski klub Spartak Subotica (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Спартак Суботица) is a professional football club from Subotica, Serbia, that plays in the Serbian SuperLiga. The club was founded in 1945 and was named after Jovan Mikić Spartak, the leader of the Partisans in Subotica, who was a national hero and was killed in 1944. The club was named Spartak Subotica until the end of the 2007–08 Serbian League Vojvodina season when it was merged with Zlatibor Voda who won promotion to the Serbian First League thus gaining the name Spartak Zlatibor Voda. In 2013, the board decided to return the original name of the club: "FK Spartak Subotica." However, the practice of adopting a sponsorship name returned in 2018 with the club accepting sponsorship from a vinary and renaming itself Spartak Ždrepčeva krv after the name of the popular wine brand produced in Serbia.
