Source-derived summary

FK Grafičar is a Montenegrin football club based in Podgorica. The club was founded in 1948 and during the season 2016-17 was relegated from Montenegrin Second League.

History

FK Grafičar was founded in 1948 in Nikšić, as a club of workers of state printing house Pobjeda. After few months, with removal of Pobjeda, the club relocated to Podgorica.

During the first decades of its existence, FK Grafičar, with seat at Stari Aerodrom quarter, participated in the Fourth League - Central. At that time, big local rivalry between FK Grafičar and FK Ribnica from neighbouring Konik settlement was born.

First significant success, FK Grafičar made at season 1970-71 by winning the Fourth League title and gained first-ever promotion to the Montenegrin Republic League.

During the next two decades, FK Grafičar played overall ten seasons in third-ranked Republic League, often with relegations to lowest Regional League. Best results in Montenegrin Republic League, FK Grafičar made during the seasons 1972-73 and 1974–75, finishing as a third-placed team. During the start of the nineties, contract with Pobjeda printing house was finished, so FK Grafičar became an independent club.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as football club. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5426149. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1948, 2016, 1970 and 1972.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. 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.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
