History
The club was founded on 10 March 1951 as FK Bulbulderac. They spent the following decade competing in the local leagues of Belgrade. In 1960, the club changed its name to BSK and continued playing in the lower leagues for another decade. They would change their name to OFK Zvezdara in 1974.
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, the club started to climb up the national league pyramid, gaining promotion to the third tier in 1993. They spent the next two seasons in the Serbian League North (1993–94 and 1994–95), placing second and third respectively. Following the assassination of its president Miodrag Nikšić in July 1995, the club finished runners-up in the newly formed Serbian League Belgrade in the 1995–96 season and earned promotion to the Second League of FR Yugoslavia.
The club played in the Second League for five seasons between 1996 and 2001, narrowly missing promotion on two occasions (1997–98 and 1998–99).

Why this record matters
The phrase “association football club in Zvezdara, 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.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2031986. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1951, 1960, 1974 and 1993.
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.
