Fudbalski klub TrepÃÂa (), commonly known asÃÂ TrepÃÂa or Rudar, is a Serbian football club based in North Mitrovica, in Kosovo. Despite being located in Kosovo, the club most recently played in the Serbian football league system, in the fourth tier Morava Zone League.
FK TrepÃÂa and Albanian KF Trepça both claim the heritage of the successful club in Yugoslavia. However, KF Trepça is recognized as the successor by the Football Federation of Kosovo and FK TrepÃÂa is considered to be operating illegally, while Serbian Football Association backs FK TrepÃÂa's claim. In 2010, the Serbian FK TrepÃÂa merged with the local Serbian club FK Partizan Kosovska Mitrovica and integrated with it.
The club was named after the former TrepÃÂa Mines, which are located north-east of Kosovska Mitrovica. It was first known as FK Rudar Kosovska Mitrovica until 1962 when it was named FK TrepÃÂa.
On the 25 May 1989, the multiethnic club Trepca converted into two clubs, which both claimed heritage of the successes in the Yugoslavian era, because Albanian players were forced to leave after the start of the cultural oppression of the ethnic Albanian population. The Albanian KF Trepça started competing in the Independent League of Kosovo and FK TrepÃÂa stayed in the Serbian League system with other phantom clubs like FK Prià ¡tina, FK Kosovo Polje and BuduÃÂnost PeÃÂ. Thus there were two clubs in the city with virtually the same name.
In the season 2001âÂÂ02 they finished bottom of the Serbian League Morava and were relegated. In the season 2003âÂÂ04 they played in the 1/16 finals of the Serbia and Montenegro Cup. In the season 2004âÂÂ05 FK TrepÃÂa was playing in the Serbian fourth level, à  umadijska zona, and finished 15th. They played their matches in Zubin Potok. In the season 2006âÂÂ07 they played again in the à  umadija zone finishing 10th. In 2007, a basketball section of the club was founded with the name KK TrepÃÂa.
FK TrepÃÂa reached the pre-eliminary round of the 2011âÂÂ12 Serbian Cup. They played it after winning the Kosovo and Metohija qualifying group.
In April 2013, TrepÃÂa attended a friendly match against the Serbian top-level club Partizan in Belgrade, which symbolized the solidarity with Serbs from Kosovo, which TrepÃÂa narrowly lost with 2âÂÂ3. Both goals for TrepÃÂa were scored by Perica IliÃÂ. A year later, they also played a friendly match with same character against the other Serbian top club Red Star Belgrade, which they lost by 0âÂÂ3.
From 1990 to this date, the club do not have its own venue.
After the war in 1999, the city was divided into a southern part with almost exclusively Kosovo Albanian and a northern part with non-Albanian or predominantly Serb population.
The TrepÃÂa Stadium is located in the southern part of the city, thus the FK TrepÃÂa is not possible to play its home matches in the stadium. Currently, only Albanian teams play in TrepÃÂa Stadium. The TrepÃÂa Stadium is officially known now as Stadiumi Olimpik Adem Jashari, after Adem Jashari, a former leader of the Albanian military organisation UÃÂK, but the Serbian population still calls it Stadion TrepÃÂa. Because of these current difficult political situation, TrepÃÂa plays its home games near ZveÃÂan, in 3.500 seater ZveÃÂan Stadium.
Since 2023, TrepÃÂa does not play anymore in North Kosovo but in Raà ¡ka or Novi Pazar which was accepted by Zoran GajiÃÂ, the Serbian minister of sports.
The club colors are green and black, which are also included in the coat of arms of the city, and were also the colors prior to the merger and the integration of Partizan Kosovska Mitrovica. To the club color of Partizan Belgrade belonged also red and blue. Thus, the away kit of Partizan Kosovska Mitrovica wore these colors were symbolic the main colors of the Serbian flag. It was similar at Partizan Belgrade.
