History
In 1886, gymnastic classes at Solajter High School introduced, along other sports, English football. By 1903, Janos Jako, Károly Juhász, and Geza Kalman were responsible for the popularity of the new game, and it became the favorite afternoon pastime for college students. The first sports society in the city was created in 1909 and named Nagykikindai AC; at the time, the city was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so the club competed in the Hungarian league system until 1918.[1]
Between the First and Second World War, the club competed in the Yugoslav league system. Important football clubs also emerged, such as: KAC (1918–1919), Srbija (August 31, 1919 – March 20, 1932) and Sloga (1932–1941); together with NAC, they were the forerunners of OFK Kikinda.
Many of the football clubs regularly played in the First and Second Leagues of Banat (second national tier divided by regions). Before the league paused during World War II, the most successful clubs were AK Serbia, VSK Kosovo, AK Sloga and SK ŽAK. All the best footballers were not concentrated in one club, but in several, and the ones usually considered the best are: Franja Bošnjak, Arnold Kemelj, Pavle Dajc, Franja Bucko and Bela Sendi in the period prior to 1914, Radoci, Somodji and Komolosi in the period from 1920 to 1929, Petar Lisul, Franja Jakab and Petar Sandić in the period from 1929 to 1934, and Miloš Ostojin, Petar Cvetković, Petar Živić and Božidar Sandić in the period between 1935 and 1941.[2]
