FK Berane
association football club
Fudbalski klub Berane (Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Беране) is a Montenegrin professional football club based in Berane. Established in 1920, the club plays in the Second League of Montenegro.
History
FK Berane was founded in 1920, as one of the first football clubs in Northern Montenegro.
In the period before World War II, they were the most successful football team from the north. During the 1920s, as other neighbouring clubs mostly played friendlies, FK Berane participated in official competitions of Montenegro. Greatest season of that time was in 1928, when Berane played in the finals of Montenegrin Football Championship. Their opponent in the game for the trophy was FK Lovćen, who won with result 3–0. That was the best result of FK Berane before World War II.
After the war, city of Berane was renamed – the new name was Ivangrad. Due to that fact, a new name of football club was Ika Ivangrad. First significant success after World War II, the team made on season 1948–59, with their first-ever performance in Montenegrin Republic League.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “FK Berane” as association football club. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as association football club. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q963069. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1920, 1928 and 1948.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
