Košarkaški klub Čačak '94 (Serbian Cyrillic: Кошаркашки клуб Чачак '94), commonly referred to as KK Čačak 94, is a men's professional basketball club based in Čačak, Serbia. The club currently participates in the Second League of Serbia.
History[]
The initiative for founding of the Čačak94 basketball club was started by a group of basketball enthusiasts in 1994. Dragomir Grujović was chosen for the president. In the words of the founders themselves, there was the need for a third basketball club in Čačak because of a big number of boys who were training basketball and couldn’t find their place in senior teams of the two existing clubs in Čačak. The first coach of the team was Dobrilo Jojić and the assistant coach was Slobodan Jovanović. The next summer, the management of the club was made stronger by Mirko Drobnjak and the club managed to win its first higher competition rank – The II Serbian League Western Group. The team finished the 1999/2000 season on the 13th position and lost the status of a member of the II Serbian League.
In August 2000, great sports enthusiast and basketball lover Zoran Krivokapić gathered a group of fifteen-year-old boys who he played the League of the younger categories of the Region 6 for the next couple of years. During 2002, great efforts were made in order to reorganize the club so that it could play the senior level basketball. Dušan Nikolić was elected the club’s president and Zoran Krivokapić was the coach. In that way, all the conditions for the continuation of the competition were created. In 2002/2003 season, the team returns in the senior competition and already in 2003 it gets the cadet team as well. Since 2003 until this day, Čačak94 has played a great number of games in the Summer League and the II Serbian League.
It is with great pride that we emphasize that a great number of our players have finished their University studies and that has perhaps been one of the biggest successes and the best results of our work. Throughout its whole history, the club had troubles with the finances as well as with the training conditions but it continued to live despite all of it. The club exists today as well thanks to a couple of young people who love basketball and who would give their best to see the club finally enter the higher rank.
During 2016, the club was taken over by a new and very ambitious management led by Milan Popović and the club has since returned to a successful path.
In 2017/2018 season, our club was the first in the II Serbian League and hence managed to enter the historic higher rank of competition – The First Serbian League. The club finished eighth in the first season of that rank of competition. Already the next season, the club finished on a phenomenal second place and it didn’t manage to move to the higher rank of competition due to some strange circumstances, so the third best team of Napredak moved instead. In the season 2020/2021, the club achieved a historic success and entered the higher rank of competition, i.e. the Second Serbian League where we will proudly represent the city of Čačak and the whole of Western Serbia.
