History
editThe club was founded in June 2022.[1] Originally, FK Sloboden was an inside joke from 2020, when a Twitter user mistook the word Слободен (free in English) in a youth team fixture list to be an actual football club, rather than the term used to mean that a club got a bye for that round.[2][3]
Sloboden finished their inaugural season in league football in 8th place, winning a friendly tournament held in R'žaničino in the process.[4]
Stadium
editSloboden has played its home games in a variety of stadiums.After initially using the spare pitch near the Železarnica Stadium to train and play their friendly matches, they moved to the football ground "Jurja" in the Skopje settlement of Usje where they played their home matches in the opening half of the 2022-23 season. Sloboden would then move its home ground at the AMS Trubarevo stadium in the settlement of Trubarevo for the remainder of the 2022-23 season and the opening half of the 2023-24 season.
The club would once again get a new home ground after agreeing to ground-share with FK Euromilk for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.[5]
Colours and badge
editFK Sloboden's colours are red and white. The club has used red Nike kits since its founding along with black shorts and red socks. The club's badge is red and white with a robin as the focal point.
