Our U15 squad competed at the Inter Sport Friends Cup in Novi Sad. Our youngsters put in a brilliant display right from the group stage, winning all three of their matches, notably defeating Bosnian side FK Radnik Urije by 12 goals. In the semi-finals against NK Maribor, regular time ended in a goalless draw, but the Slovenian team came out on top in the penalty shootout, meaning our boys faced FK Vojvodina for third place. Djordje Kamber's team then secured a 2–1 victory over the Serbian hosts to finish on the third step of the podium. Our head coach emphasized that our players set an example throughout the tournament with their conduct both on and off the pitch, as well as with their attitude towards the matches.

Djordje Kamber, head coach:
“We finished the Serbian tournament with a bronze medal, which shines like gold to me. The reason for this is that the boys set an example for everyone, primarily through their conduct and their approach to the matches. We played six games, recording five wins and one draw, with a 22–1 goal difference. We were left with a slight sense of regret for not reaching the final. I believe we were the better team in the semi-final against Maribor, but they proved better in the penalty shootout. It was a very useful tournament for both the boys and the coaching staff, as we had the opportunity to gauge where we currently stand compared to Serbian, Slovenian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin teams. We saw many positive things, and I believe the boys learned a great deal throughout the tournament.”
