Fudbalski klub Tekstilac (English: Football Club Tekstilac) was a Montenegrin football club based in Bijelo Polje. Their last official season was 2013-14, spent in Montenegrin Third League.

History

FK Tekstilac was founded in 1963, as a team of Textile industry from Bijelo Polje. At that time, they were second team from that northern Montenegrin team, beside much successful FK Jedinstvo.

Only year after foundation, FK Tekstilac gained promotion to Montenegrin Republic League (Third rank).[1] First significant success came on season 1973-74, when FK Tekstilac finished as fourth-placed team in Republic League. On season 1979-80, the team finished as a runner-up, but without promotion to Yugoslav Second League. During that time, FK Tekstilac became more successful team from Bijelo Polje, while the other local team FK Jedinstvo often played in the lowest-division.

Notable success of that era, FK Tekstilac made on season 1985-86. For the first and the only time in history, the team won Montenegrin Republic Cup and qualified for Yugoslav Cup season 1986-87. In the First Round of that competition, FK Tekstilac hosted prominent member of Yugoslav First League - Hajduk Split (0-7).[2] Match was played on Gradski stadion in front of 8,000 spectators, which remains the biggest-ever attendance in the history of football in Bijelo Polje.
From 1990 to 2006, FK Tekstilac mostly played in Fourth League - Northern region, with only few seasons in Montenegrin Republic League.

Following Montenegrin independence, FK Tekstilac became a member of Montenegrin Third League and won the title on inaugural season (2006–07). After the playoffs against FK Otrant and FK Iskra, FK Tekstilac made historical promotion to Montenegrin Second League.[3]

On their debut in Second League (season 2007-08), FK Tekstilac finished as a last-placed team, so they were relegated to the lowest-rank. During the season, they played three local-derbies against FK Jedinstvo (0-4, 0-2, 1-4).

From 2008 to 2014, FK Tekstilac played in Third League, but without any significant success. At that time, as a winner or runner-up of Northern Region Cup finals, FK Tekstilac played twice in Montenegrin Cup. First time, on season 2012-13, they were eliminated in First Round against elite-division side FK Sutjeska (0-6). Next season, they were defeated again in First phase, against FK Mladost (0-2).

After the season 2013-14, the club was dissolved due to financial difficulties.
