FK Teleoptik (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Телеоптик) is a football club based in Zemun, Belgrade, Serbia. They compete in the Serbian League Belgrade, the third tier of the national league system.

History

Founded by the manufacturing company of the same name in 1952, the club exclusively played in the local leagues of Belgrade within the Yugoslav football league system, but without notable achievements. In the early 1990s, when the country started breaking apart, they agreed to an affiliate partnership with Partizan. One of the most significant aspects of this cooperation was the construction of the SC Partizan-Teleoptik, which was officially opened in May 1998.[1]

In the NATO bombing-shortened 1998–99 season, the club finished second in the Serbian League Belgrade, getting promotion to the Second League of FR Yugoslavia. After easily securing league status in their debut appearance, they made an even better result in the 2000–01 season, finishing in fifth place.[2] However, the club failed to avoid relegation in 2002, when the competition changed its format.[3]

After seven consecutive seasons in the Serbian League Belgrade, the club finally managed to earn promotion to the Serbian First League in 2009, defeating Serbian League East runners-up Timok on penalties in the playoffs.[4] They spent the next five seasons in the second tier of Serbian football, before being relegated in 2013–14.[5] After winning the Serbian League Belgrade in 2017, the club was promoted back to the Serbian First League,[6] but again suffered relegation in the 2018–19 season.
