Partizan Youth Academy is one of the most renowned and export-oriented in Europe. This nickname was later embedded in the lyrics of the club anthem. Their popular nickname ' The Steamroller' (Parni valjak) was originally used in the press report after the 7–1 hammering of Red Star at the 13th Eternal Derby on 6 December 1953. Partizan also has many supporters in many of the former- Yugoslav republics and in the Serbian diaspora. Matches between these two clubs are known as the Eternal Derby ("Večiti derbi") and rate as one of the greatest cross-town clashes in the world. The club has a long-standing rivalry with Red Star Belgrade. Partizan was the first Yugoslavian club to compete in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Partizan holds records such as playing in the first European Champions Cup match on 4 September, 1955, as well as becoming the first Balkan and Eastern European football club to reach the European Champions Cup final, when it did so in 1966. Their home ground is the Partizan Stadium in Belgrade, where they have played since 1949. Partizan was founded by young high officers of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) in 1945 in Belgrade, as part of the Yugoslav Sports Association Partizan. It is named after the Yugoslav Partisans, the resistance liberation movement during World War II.


The club plays in the Serbian SuperLiga and has spent its entire history in the top tier of Yugoslav and Serbian football having won a total of 45 official trophies, finishing in the Yugoslav league all-time table as second. It forms a major part of the Partizan multi-sport club.
