Titograd, February 13, 1949 and an unusual result (5:2) for today's handball - maybe few people expected it then, but decades later they will tell the story that the biggest Montenegrin sports club was born on that day.

The women's handball club Budućnost then defeated Jug from Dubrovnik, everything after that was history, and the two stars of the Champions League on the coat of arms are the best reminder of what a great man this is.

A club made famous by legends such as Svetlana Antić, Ljiljana Vučević, Olga Sekulić, Zorica Pavićević, Katica Lješković, Stanka Mugoša, Mirjana Mugoša, Stojanka Mugoša, Milanka Šćepanović, Mirsada Ganić, Marta Bojanović, Dragana Pešić, Maja Bulatović, Bojana Popović, Maja Savić , Katarine Bulatović, Milena Raičević and many others are celebrating their 75th birthday today.

The biggest stories started with Dušan Dujo Đurišić and above all the arrival of the great Vinko Kandija (arrived at the suggestion of Đurišić), and were continued by famous coaches Nikola Petrović and Dragan Adžić...

Buducnost had the Cup Winners' Cup (1985, 2006 and 2010) and EHF Cup (1987) trophies in its trophy room, but the Champions League trophy has long been an obsession...

After many attempts when the "blues" were stopped in the semi-finals, the dice finally came together on May 13, 2012, when Adžić's ladies finally "hug" the much-dreamed-of cup via Đero in the hell of Morača.

The first Champions League cup was long awaited, but the second one arrived after only three years - after the total dominance of Budućnost during the entire season, the "blues" defeated Larvik in the final of the final four in Budapest.

The president of the club during those years was Predrag Bošković, and Rade Biljo Đuričković, Miško Kalezić, Radomir Đurđić, and Rade Biljo Đuričković built the future with him as leading people...

Part of the golden history is certainly numerous foreign handball players, of whom Tatjana Jeraminok, Nataša Cigankova, Klara Woltering, Kristina Neagu left the deepest mark...

In total, six European cups, 34 championship titles across four countries, many unforgettable victories, players who wore the blue and white jersey...

History started on February 13, 1949 and never stopped...
