RK Sintelon (Serbian Cyrillic: РК Синтелон) was a Serbian handball club based in Bačka Palanka.
History[edit]
The club was founded in 1952 as RK Tekstilac. They changed their name to RK Sintelon in 1970 after being acquired by the textile factory of the same name. In 1994, the club earned promotion to the top flight for the first time ever. They would win their first trophy in June 2000 by capturing the national cup.[1] During the 2002–03 season, the club went through financial difficulties and withdrew from the national championship before the end of the campaign.[2] They returned to the top flight two years later. In 2007, the club changed its name to RK Tarkett due to changes in the club's ownership.[3] They eventually withdrew from the Serbian Handball Super League after the start of the 2009–10 season.[4]
