In order to protect the interests and rights of workers' sports clubs, the Workers' Sports Association was founded in Belgrade in 1927 (Source: Mala enciklopedija Prosvete, Belgrade, 1986). The data we were able to obtain do not sufficiently shed light on the extent to which Budućnost participated in its activities. In late 1931, the Sarajevo newspaper Snaga published a list of 28 clubs that had “given the Workers' Sports Association their powers of attorney so that it could use them for the good of all workers' clubs on the territory of the Yugoslav Football Association”.
Among them, as the only one from the Zeta banate, is Budućnost.

On April 5, 1936, Belgrade's Politika, in its article "One Hundred of the Most Famous Belgrade Athletes Protest Against the Spirit of the Next Olympics", reported that "the Workers' Sports Association, which includes 90 amateur sports clubs, declared its readiness to boycott the Olympics, 'because our participation in Berlin would mean aiding the profanation of both sports and the Olympics'".
Among the hundred Belgrade athletes who signed a resolution calling for a boycott of the Berlin Olympic Games due to the Nazi regime in Germany, and "in the name of freedom in sports, in the name of highly humane ideals," was a BSK football player. Vojin Bozovic, post-war coach of Buducnost.
On April 10, 1936, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia confirmed the participation of its athletes in the Berlin Games.
