It has been exactly 20 years ago, in a cafe, with real enthusiast and lover of basketball, in a far far land called Sydney Australia, when any talk of sport was mainly about rugby and football, an idea was formed and came to fruition, to start a basketball club.

This happened in the month of June 1990. The first Serbian Basketball Club was born in Australia, under the name of DELIJE. The name given to the staunch supporters of Red Star Belgrade (either in the soccer or basketball) Delije means brave, strong and even handsome young man.

The founder and director of KK Delije, Mr Misho Putica, who was also the first member and Coach of this young club. It wasn’t easy for a enthusiastic and young trainer, Misho Putica, but he gathered and attracted the interest of young people and their parents to the basketball club. On the bases that the club was founded we always felt like family.
