History

Background

KK Sloboda, commonly referred to as Sloboda Dita, was a men's professional basketball club based in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The club was formed in 1946 and played its home games at Mejdan Sports Center. The club was shut down in September 2011 due to debts of 3.5 million KM.

Sloboda finished 5th in the inaugural 2001–02 Adriatic League session.

Renamed and re-organized

OKK Sloboda was founded in 2009 as a youth department of KK Sloboda Tuzla. After the original club ceased operations in 2011, the new club—under the name of OKK Sloboda Tuzla (OKK Sloboda)—started to compete as they entered the A2 League for the 2011–12 season. They went on to win the 2012 A2 League championship and were subsequently promoted to the A1 Liga for the 2012–13 season. Sloboda finished second on the ladder in 2012–13 with a win/loss record of 18-4, and went on to lose in the championship-deciding game to number 1 seeded OKK Spars Sarajevo by 10 points.^[1]

In 2013, the club was promoted to the Basketball Championship of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the 2013–14 season, returning to the top division for the first time since the 2010–11 season. For their return season to the Bosnian first league, Sloboda signed rookie head coach Damir Mulaomerović. He helped lead them to a fourth-place finish and subsequently earned himself a contract extension for the 2014–15 season.

In July 2019, the club got a wild card for the Second Adriatic League to play in the 2019–20 season.^[2]

Home arena

The club plays its home games at SKPC Mejdan in Tuzla. Mejdan has two halls, one small and one big, with most games being played in the bigger hall that has a seating capacity of 4,900, while the smaller one has a seating capacity of 800 for basketball matches.
