Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade
Founded in 1945, Partizan started to make noise in European competitions when Dragan Kicanovic and Drazen Dalipagic led the club to Korac Cup titles in 1978 and 1979. Vlade Divac and Zarko Paspalj helped the club reach the 1988 EuroLeague Final Four and lift the 1989 Korac Cup. In 1992, Partizan won the club's first – and, to date, only – EuroLeague crown with Zeljko Obradovic on the bench, downing DKV Joventut 70-71 on a miraculous three-pointer by Sasha Djordjevic, which ranks among the most amazing shots in basketball history. Partizan returned to the EuroLeague Final Four in 1998, but it lost in the semifinals against eventual champion Kinder Bologna. The club continued developing players while dominating domestically, and with a fan base that treats basketball like a religion, Partizan kept growing. In 2010, in its third consecutive EuroLeague playoff appearance, Partizan ousted Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-1 to reach the Final Four, where it lost against Olympiacos Piraeus after overtime in the semis. A slow decline ensued, resulting in a rare title dry spell. The return of Coach Obradovic to the bench in the summer of 2021 changed things again, also turning Partizan games into a must-see event in the world of basketball. Partizan reached the 2023 EuroLeague Playoffs, only to squander a 0-2 series lead against the eventual champ Real Madrid, but won the 2023 ABA League championship, its first major trophy in a decade. With an army of basketball diehards behind the players and a coaching legend on the sidelines, Partizan is on the path of recapturing its former glory.
