FK Tekstilac Odžaci (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Текстилац Оџаци) is a professional football club based in Odžaci, Vojvodina, Serbia. They compete in the Serbian SuperLiga, the top tier of the national league system.

History

Founded in 1919, the club played in the Vojvodina League in its inaugural 1958–59 season, placing second from the bottom and suffering relegation.[1] They returned to the third tier of Yugoslav football in 1962–63, finishing as runners-up in the newly formed Serbian League North to narrowly miss out on promotion to the Yugoslav Second League. After the reorganization of the national league system in 1968,[2] the club went on to compete in the Vojvodina League until 1979, except for 1974–75.[3] They also qualified for the 1977–78 Yugoslav Cup, losing 2–1 to Dinamo Vinkovci in the opening round.[4]

Between 1999 and 2015, the club competed in the Serbian League Vojvodina for 16 consecutive seasons. They won the Vojvodina League North in 2021 to return to the third tier of Serbian football after six years. In the 2022–23 season, the club finished as Serbian League Vojvodina champions and gained promotion to the Serbian First League.[5] They placed fourth in their debut appearance in the second tier and earned a spot in the promotion play-offs.[6] The club subsequently beat Javor Ivanjica 2–1 on aggregate in a two-legged tie and won promotion to the Serbian SuperLiga for the first time in its history.[7]
