GFK Sloven Ruma is a Serbian football club from Ruma that competes in Serbian First League, the second tier.

History

The club was founded in 1924.

From 1959 to 1977, Sloven played for 18 years without interruption in the third tier of Yugoslav football, the Vojvodina League, i.e. the Northern Group of the Serbian League.

Sloven came closest to being placed in the federal competition in the 1965/66 season. At the end of the season, Sloven was tied at the top of the table with FK Crvenka with 43 points. However, due to a slightly better goal difference, Crvenka took first place and thus directly qualified for the Eastern Group of the Yugoslav Second League. Crvenka reached the First League a few seasons later, and Sloven continued to compete in the third tier with solid success until 1977, but never repeated the result of 1966.

After several years of playing in the fourth tier (Srem district league and Vojvodina zone league), Sloven again reached the third tier as a member of the Serbian League of Vojvodina in the 1995/96 season. After five seasons of competition with mediocre results, he was relegated to the Vojvodina zone.

The last time Sloven returned to the Serbian League was in the 2007/08 season. After winning a high fifth place, the following season 2008/09. finished as the last and was relegated to the Vojvodina League and after only one year to the Regional League of Sremska Mitrovica. Sloven spent more than a decade playing in the Regional League, and in one season he even fell to the local inter-municipal league (sixth ranking competition in Serbia).

In the course of 2020, the results recovery of the club began. At the end of the 2021/22 season, Sloven won first place in the Regional Football League of Srem and placed in the Vojvodina League South, from where they returned to the Serbian League Vojvodina after just one season.

In the 2023/24 season, Sloven took second place in the table of the Serbian League Vojvodina, behind Železničar Inđija. Due to the administrative failure of the club from Inđija, Sloven took their place and thus, for the first time in the history of the club, ensured participation in the federal level, the Serbian First League.

Stadium

Sloven plays its matches at the Stadium in Borkovačka dolina, on the way to Lake Borkovac, a famous Romanian picnic spot. The stadium was renovated at the end of 2020, has floodlights and one tribune with chairs.
