History

edit

During the 2000s and early 2010s, the club was also known as Old Vojvodina to be distinguished from the dissolved and much better known town rivals Vojvodina Srbijagas. At that time, the club functioned as Vojvodina Srbijagas's reserve team. After their dissolving in 2016, Vojvodina received many their players and got promoted to the Basketball League of Serbia for the 2017–18 BLS season.

On 6 June 2022, the club elected Željko Rebrača as their new club's president.[2][3]
