FK Arsenal is a Montenegrin professional football club based in the coastal town of Tivat, founded in 1914. Currently, the club is competing in the Montenegrin Second League.

History[]

Period 1914-1940[]

Founded in 1914, Arsenal is the second oldest football club in Montenegro, after FK Lovćen which was founded a year before. The club was first established as FK Orjen. During 1930, the team was merged with another club from Tivat - FK Zrinjski. After the fusion, the team started to play under the new name FK Arsenal. The name was derived from the nearby naval repair facility "MRTZ Sava Kovačević", known colloquially as Arsenal.
FK Arsenal made biggest successes in history in the period between 1925-1940. Team from Tivat at that time played in the Montenegrin Football Championship, with remarkable success at season 1937 - with winning the title of Montenegrin champion. Arsenal became the only club outside Podgorica and Cetinje who won the title on Montenegrin championship in the period between 1925-1940.

Period 1945-2006[]

After World War II, FK Arsenal played in the first season of the Montenegrin Republic League (1946), together with Budućnost, Lovćen and Sutjeska. FK Arsenal gained promotion to the Yugoslav Second League (Zone B) with debut in the 1955-56 season. They played three years in the Second League, and got relegated to the Republic League after the 1957-58 season.
Most seasons in the period between 1958-2006 Arsenal spent in the Montenegrin Republic League, with second place in the 1958-59 season as a major success.
During the 1980s and 1990s, Arsenal produced many talented players. Its youth team which included the generation of players born in 1971/72 is regarded within the club as the most talented one. It was coached by Radovan Vukotić and Zlatko Vuksanović and produced players such as Ivica Kralj (played with Partizan, Porto and PSV), (Hajduk Kula), (Čukarički) or Zoran Vuksanović (Radnički Niš and Hajduk Kula).[1]

Period 2006-[]

After Montenegrin independence, FK Arsenal became a member of the Montenegrin Second League in its inaugural season (2006-07). With often relegations to the Montenegrin Third League, Arsenal spent six seasons in the Second League until now.
