In December 1996, a group of enthusiasts and lovers of rugby, led by Bosko Strugar, founded Rugby Club Pobednik. The early years were not easy as there were no pitches or club house. However, all members helped develop the club which brought results quickly. In difficult times, the players bought the required equipment and funded travel so the club could survive. The club is now sponsored by Mozzart Sports Betting. In December 2014 Pobednik was renamed '''Rad''', previously the name of its associated junior rugby club, after linking with [[Association football|football]] club [[FK Rad]].<ref name = supersport-2014/> In [[English language|English]], Rad translates as "work" or "labour", and the football club was formed by the Serbian [[construction]] company of the same name. Rugby Club Rad's president [[Marko Kapor]] is also on the board of directors for FK Rad.<ref name = supersport-2014/>

In December 1996, a group of enthusiasts and lovers of rugby, led by Bosko Strugar, founded Rugby Club Pobednik. The early years were not easy as there were no pitches or club house. However, all members helped develop the club which brought results quickly. In difficult times, the players bought the required equipment and funded travel so the club could survive. The club is now sponsored by Mozzart Sports Betting.

In December 2014 Pobednik was renamed Rad.[2] This was previously the name of its associated junior rugby club, after a link was established with football club FK Rad. In English, Rad translates as "work" or "labour", and the football club was formed by the Serbian construction company of the same name. RK Rad's president Marko Kapor is also on the board of directors of FK Rad.[2] The club wears a blue and white kit.
