FK Timok
association football club in Serbia
FK Timok 1919 (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Тимок 1919) is a football club based in Zaječar, Serbia. They compete in the Serbian League East, the third tier of the national league system.
History
Founded in 1919, the club participated in the regional leagues during its early stages. They achieved their first notable success by defeating Dinamo Zagreb 3–1 in the first round of the 1973 Yugoslav Cup. The club also competed in the Yugoslav Second League for three seasons between 1981 and 1984.
After the dissolution of SFR Yugoslavia, the club reached the second tier for the second time, but finished bottom of the table in the 1992–93 Second League of FR Yugoslavia. They would later spend two seasons in the Second League of Serbia and Montenegro from 2002 to 2004, when they were relegated to the Serbian League East.
On 26 October 2005, the club made one of its greatest achievements in its history by eliminating Partizan away in the 2005–06 Serbia and Montenegro Cup round of 16. They won 5–4 on penalties after a 1–1 draw in regular time. The club was eventually knocked out of the competition in the quarter-final after losing 2–0 away to Radnički Niš.

Why this record matters
The phrase “association football club in Serbia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3544941. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1919, 1973, 1981 and 1984.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. 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.
