Summary/Abstract: The article argues that the Crvena zvezda Football Club (FC Red Star Belgrade) maintained both Serbian and pan-Serbian identity during the socialist era (1945–1991), based on primary sources such as memoirs, and biographies. With no Serbian dynasty or state, and the Serbian Orthodox Church marginalized, FK Crvena zvezda became a unifying factor for the Serbian people in socialist Yugoslavia.
