About Club

Vojvodina Volleyball Club was founded in July 1946. During the first three decades of its existence, it was an amateur club with its ups and downs, undergoing many organizational changes, as well as changes of its name. (It was called "Sloga", "Proleter", "Partizan" and "Student".). In the late seventies the Club became stable. It regained its original name "Vojvodina", and during the following two decades it grew into the most successful Yugoslav volleyball club.
In its long history the Club has won eleven titles of the Yugoslav Champion, the last nine being in the row, and seven titles of the Yugoslav Cup Winner. It placed third in the European Champions Cup twice, and took the third place in the Cup-Winners Cup once.
Vojvodina has always provided, and is still providing, a great number of elite volleyball athletes for the Yugoslav National Team Selection, both Senior and Junior.
In the past decade only, as much as eighteen players of Vojvodina were the members of the most successful Yugoslav volleyball selection, while fourteen of its players entered the Yugoslav Junior National Team Selection.
All medals won by the national "Blue Team" in the second half of the nineties were won under the expert leadership of the former coaches of Vojvodina: Mr Zoran Gajic, at the European and World Championships and at the Olympic Games, and Mr. Milorad Kijac, at the World Cup.
The best result ever reached by the Junior Selection at a European championship 2000 with six players who were under excellent guidance of Mr. Slobodan Galesev, current Head of the Expert Team of Vojvodina.
A record number of spectators in the Yugoslav volleyball league, some 10.000, is reached only when Vojvodina plays league matches. Since 1995, Vojvodina has been organizing all major matches of the Yugoslav National Team Selection in Novi Sad. These matches have always been largely attended, particularly the word competitions, when the number of volleyball fans reaches 11.000, surpassing the hall capacity.
The Club has proved its organizational skills in 1998, as well, when it organized in Novi Sad the Final Four Competitions Cup, although the Club itself didn't take part.
Since January 1998, Vojvodina has got its permanent Internet Home Page and its own web site www.okvojvodina.org.yu, which has been visited by more than 30.000 visitors, so far. They stayed at the site nine minutes on the average.
Since September 1998, Vojvodina has been issuing its own magazine OK Wossa every second month, being the first volleyball club in Yugoslavia to establish such a magazine. Each year during the past decade, Vojvodina was recognized as the most successful sports team in Novi Sad.
