The ŽFK Mašinac Niš ( Serbian - Cyrillic ЖФК Машинац ПЗП ), due to sponsorship reasons (as of 2019) ŽFK Mašinac PZP Niš , is a women's football club from the third largest Serbian city ​​of Niš . With a total of 24 championship titles and 15 cup wins (including twelve doubles ), the club is the most successful women's football club of the SFR Yugoslavia , the FR Yugoslavia (as well as Serbia and Montenegro) and Serbia.

The coach of the club, which was founded in 1970, is Perica Krstić , who has been in office since 1974 , who can therefore also be regarded as the most successful coach in Serbian women's football and who has been in charge of the Serbian national team and the women's national teams in the predecessor countries for over 20 years.

history

The club was founded in 1970 when a student from the Niš Mechanical Engineering School ( Mašinske tehničke škole ), which had existed since 1923, got together with her friends to organize a women's football team. Four years later, Perica Krstić , at the time about 21 years old and after a short career as a soccer player, moved to the coaching office early, took over the position of coach of the soccer players, who from this year participated in the game of the all-Yugoslav championship, which was held for the first time. Four years later, the still young Krstić rose to the head coach of the Yugoslav national football team for women , where he managed the affairs for the next few decades, while remaining coach at the ŽFK Mašinac Niš. In the early 1980s the club achieved its first successes on a national level and subsequently rose to become the dominant women's football club in the state. Before that, the ŽFK Sloga Zemun and the ŽNK Dinamo-Maksimir were among the leading women's football clubs in Yugoslavia for a few years .

The first success of the ŽFK Mašinac Niš was the cup victory in the 1982/83 season, followed by the double in the following season 1983/84. Then the women from Niš became the serial champions and won seven of the remaining eight championships (1984/85, 1985/86, 1986/87, 1987/88, 1988/89, 1989/90 and 1991/92) until the dissolution of the SFR Yugoslavia on April 26, 1992. Only in 1990/91 was the ŽNK Dinamo-Maksimir from Zagreb able to push in front of the women from Niš. Furthermore, the club was a six-time cup winner of the SFR Yugoslavia (1982/83, 1983/84, 1987/88, 1988/89, 1990/91 and 1991/92). Barely passing on an international level in appearance club was in 1989 winner since 1973 every year on the Côte d'Azur discharged Tournoi de Menton ; In 1998 the team made it to the final of the tournament and lost to the RSC Anderlecht women with a 1-0 defeat. In the subsequent states after the dissolution of the SFR Yugoslavia, the ŽFK Mašinac Niš was the dominant club in national women's football for another 20 years. With the entry of the Niš tobacco factory as a sponsor in 1990, the association was also largely financially secure. The team appeared from this time as Mašinac Classic Niš . As early as 1987, the club moved into the new stadium in Delijski Vis , a district of Niš. Since then, the home games of the green-whites have taken place in the Mašinac stadium, which has 5,000 spectators .

In the 1992/93, 1994/95, 1995/96, 1996/97, 1997/98, 1998/99, 1999/00, 2000/01 and 2001/02 seasons, the ŽFK Mašinac Classic Niš won nine out of ten seasons the FR of Yugoslavia ; only in 1993/94 the team from ŽFK Sloga Zemun was ousted from first place. In 1994/95, 1995/96, 1996/97 and 1998/99 the Cup of the FR Yugoslavia could be won four times. Even in the days of the federation of states that existed from February 4, 2003 to June 3, 2006 under the official name of Serbia and Montenegro , the club from the industrial and commercial city was the leading club and won all four championships. The team only won the cup in the 2002/03 season. When the UEFA Women's Cup (called the UEFA Women's Champions League from 2009/10 ) was held for the first time in the 2001/02 season , the successful Serbian club was also regularly represented in it. Despite mostly good performances, the club came in the seasons 2001/02, 2002/03 and 2003/04 over a second group place. It was not until the 2004/05 UEFA Women's Cup that the ŽFK Mašinac Classic Niš won group A5 and entered the second round that followed . In this, however, the team was defeated in front of their home crowd in Niš to the competition and barely made it into the subsequent quarter-finals . In the 2005/06 season the club was beaten with a goal difference of 3:15 and zero points from three games last in group B2, in which they had entered for the first time as national champions of one of the six strongest nations.

In the 2006/07 Serbian Women's Super League , the ŽFK Mašinac Niš was initially still one of the dominant teams in the country. In second place behind the ŽFK Napredak Kruševac , the club ended the first official season. In the same season , the champions of the previous 2005/06 season were once again group runner-up in the first round of the UEFA Women's Cup and failed to advance to the second round. Then the ŽFK Mašinac Niš was able to win the Serbian women's football championship three times in a row in the 2007/08, 2008/09 and 2009/10 seasons. At the European level, however, the team continued to fail early. The group A2 was 2008/09 in third place behind the women of AZ Alkmaar and Glasgow City FC ended. As the national champion of one of the strongest associations, the ŽFK Mašinac Niš advanced to the round of 32 of the 2009/10 UEFA Women's Champions League a year later and lost to the women of Olympique Lyon with an aggregate result of 6-0 on both sides . The last time they took part in this tournament ( 2010/11 ) the Serbians also finished in the sixteenth finals; with a total score of 1:12 they clearly failed because of the Arsenal Ladies .

In the 2007/08, 2008/09, 2009/10 and 2010/11 seasons, the team also won the Serbian Cup before the almost 30-year dominance of the Green-Whites waned. With the 2010/11 season, the dominance of ŽFK Spartak Subotica , which was also founded in 1970 and was still dominant at the current time (as of 2019/20) , began, which up to this point in its forty-year history had hardly been noticed at national level. The 2010/11 season ended the team from Niš only in third place in the table; She did this in the following seasons 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14, with two points being deducted from the association in the latter season (otherwise the club would have finished the season as runner-up). In the 2014/15 season, the ŽFK Mašinac Niš even ranked fourth in the regular season in the final, which was the worst position in decades. Due to the league reform that took place before the start of this season, the team then appeared in the championship round, in which the first four teams competed (in return, the four teams with the fewest points in the regular season played against each other in the relegation round). In the six games played here, the women of Mašinac Niš came in second place behind the undisputed champions Spartak Subotica with two wins, two draws and two defeats.

In 2015/16 the team made it into the championship round with twelve wins and two defeats from the regular season in second place behind ŽFK Spartak Subotica, who won all 14 games in the regular season. In this, the team finished after twelve more games again in second place behind the club from Subotica in northern Serbia. The following seasons 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19 then ended the ŽFK Mašinac Niš in third place in the table. Currently (as of December 2019), the women's football club from Niš also ranks third in the 2019/20 Superliga, which is currently (as of December 2019) in the winter break.
