History

The club was founded in 1901, during Austro-Hungarian administration. It was originally the club of the Croatian[1]/ community, although the club has accepts players of other ethnicities, never distinguishing. Bačka 1901 played a big role in a cultural and sport autonomy of Croats/Bunjevci in Bačka in Austro-Hungarian period, and later in the time of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

Its first name was Bácska Szabadkai Athletikai Club, since it was registered by the Austro-Hungarian authorities in Hungarian language. Among its founders the most common nationality was Croat, and the club's emblem bore the Croatian chequy in the upper-left corner.[1][2]

In its early years, the club played in the leagues of the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom of Hungary, regularly winning in the southern league. It later participated in the Yugoslav championship twice, in its 1923 inaugural season and in 1925. During this time the club was named JSD Bačka. Upon the formation of the Croatian-Slovenian League in 1939, and later the Croatian First League within the Banovina of Croatia, the club changed its name to HAD Bačka and competed along Croatian clubs.

In 1941, during the Axis occupation of Yugoslavia, Bačka was attached to Horthy's Hungary and the club was forced to compete in the Hungarian League, where it entered competition in its third-tier. In 1945 the club was renamed to HAŠK Građanski (Croat Academical Sports Club Građanski) after the famous Zagreb side. Soon after the club was renamed to FD Sloboda. Later, it was renamed to FD Zvezda, and in 1963, the club returned the name Bačka.
