FK Banat Zrenjanin (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Банат Зрењанин) was a football club based in Zrenjanin, Vojvodina, Serbia.

History

The club was founded in June 2006 by the merger of Budućnost Banatski Dvor and Proleter Zrenjanin.[1] They started competing in the Serbian SuperLiga in the competition's inaugural 2006–07 season, managing to avoid relegation. Moreover, the club's striker Srđan Baljak became the league's top scorer with 18 goals.[2] They also reached the 2006–07 Serbian Cup semi-finals, being eliminated by Vojvodina. Later on, the club spent two more seasons in the top flight, before finishing bottom of the table in 2009 and suffering relegation to the Serbian First League. They also reached the 2008–09 Serbian Cup semi-finals, but were eliminated by eventual winners Partizan.[3]

Between 2009 and 2013, the club competed in the second tier of Serbian football, but failed to make any notable results.[4] They placed 15th out of 18 teams in the 2012–13 campaign and suffered relegated to the Serbian League Vojvodina. The club spent the next three years in the third tier, before finishing second from the bottom in the 2015–16 season, being relegated to the fourth tier. In August 2016, it was announced that they withdrew from the Vojvodina League East,[5] eventually ceasing to exist.[6]
