Delije - Red Star supporters

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Sports Club Red Star was founded on March 4, 1945, as a result of Belgrade youth’s effort to establish a sport club which they will be dedicated to. At the very beginning, there was made a section of members-friends of SC Red Star which had about 100 faithful supporters of red-whites who started to go with the club on all away games. The section was mostly made of boys from the burjoise parts of the city - Senyak, Topcider Hill, Dedinye, Knez Mihaylova st., but amongst the first Red Star supporters there were also children of workers, who will form the ‘first team’ of supporters leaders in future period. All these guys had something special, because they represented the very soul of our capital.
