Fudbalski klub Jagodina (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Јагодина) is a Serbian professional football club based in the city of Jagodina, which plays in the Serbian First League, the second tier in Serbia's football league. The club was founded in 1919 under the name JSK Zora, just months after the end of World War I. After numerous name changes and a merger of several clubs, the present name was created in 1962.
In the times of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro, FK Jagodina played mostly in the lower-tier leagues of the country, except 1957–58, than under the name FK Morava, and 1993–94, when they spent one season in the second division. In 2007, the club won the Serbian League East, one of four sections of the Serbian League, the third national tier, and managed the following season to win the first league ( second tier ) for the first time in its history, earning promotion to the SuperLiga.
They would spend a considerable time in the SuperLiga, FK Jagodina developed itself into one of the most stable Serbian football clubs during this time. Jagodina won its first Serbian Cup in 2013 and subsequently reached the 2014 Serbian Cup final, and finished at an all-time-high third place in the 2014 SuperLiga season. European games would follow against the likes of CFR Cluj from Romania and Rubin Kazan from Russia a proud moment for the club and its supporters, But soon financial problems would hit and the club would suffer successive relegation's. Finding itself in the third tier again, they earned promotion from the third tier in season 2019–20 and would play in the second tier Serbian First League in season 2020–21 but they relegated again after one season.
Jagodina hosts its matches at the Jagodina City Stadium, which is part of the sports and leisure complex Đurđevo brdo, located in the very south of the city.
