Partizan was founded on October 4th, 1945, as one of the twenty-five clubs of the Yugoslav Sports Association. The club is still a member of the same association now renamed to Sports Association of Serbia and Montenegro, as well as the Football Association of Serbia and Montenegro, but it has complete independence regarding organisation, management, finances, material goods and facilities. During the 1950s the president of Partizan was Franjo Tudjman later known as first president of Republic of Croatia. He changed Partizan uniform from white to horizontal black and white stripes.

There are several companies in the Partizan business system, which are working together with the Club.

FK Partizan was the champion of the Yugoslav First League eighteen times: eleven times in SFRY (1947, 1949, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1965, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1987), and another seven times in FRY and Serbia and Montenegro (1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2002, 2003).

Partizan was also Yugoslav Cup winner nine times: five times in SFRY (1947, 1952, 1954, 1957, 1989), and four times in FRY and SM (1992, 1994, 1998, 2001).

Internationally, Partizan was the runner-up in the European Cup Championship of 1966, and the winner of the Middle-European Cup in 1978.

Momčilo Vukotić is the Partizan record-holder by the number of attacks he played in seven hundred and fifty two matches, but the goal scoring record-holder is Stjepan Bobek, with four hundred and three goals. Over one hundred and thirty Partizan football players were in the Yugoslav national football team and Bobek, Zebec, Čajkovski, Jusufi, Galić, Šoškić, Jokanović, Mijatović and Milošević played in more than fifty matches.

The "Black and whites" have won six times in past league matches with ten or more goals and in two championships they scored more than a hundred goals. They are also the record-holders of the Yugoslav First League, with one hundred and eleven goals in one championship.
