After seven seasons, reigning Serbian vice-champion Partizan Belgrade is back in SEHA – Gazprom League. This season they will, along with Vojvodina Novi Sad, have a chance to see how good they can cope with some of the best teams from the region. Always ambitious team from the Serbian capital is waiting for new SEHA challenges with a whole new ‘Black&White’ generation, one that will surely do its best to achieve a better result than the one they had in 2013/2014 season when they finished the season with 2-16 score defeating only Metalurg Skopje and Lovcen Cetinje.
 
Team led by former Yugoslavian national team player and Serbian junior national team coach Nenad Maksic had a successful first part of the season, finishing on top of Serbian ARKUS League Preliminary Group with 12 wins and two draws. Playoffs, in which they will have a lot to say, start in February. Goal will surely be to end nine-year long title drought – their last title (double crown) dates all the way back from 2013.
 
Roster is a well-balanced mix of experienced players and those showcasing solid potential. Their most experienced player is 38-year-old right back Aleksandar Stojanovic, who has 10 years of EHF Champions League experience playing for Vardar, Celje PL, Koper and Kadetten Schaffhausen. For the far right, they have during the last summer managed to bring in 26-year-old Nemanja Zivkovic who arrived from Slovenian Slovenj Gradec. Helping Stojanovic out on the right in young Nikola Ivanovic, who already has international experience of playing in Hungarian FTC and Macedonian Eurofarm Pelister.
Ivanovic is not the only player from the talented Serbian national team generation of 1998 who is a vital part of this Partizan team. Goalkeeper Andrej Trnavac managed to deliver outstanding performances in Men’s EHF Cup ties versus Romanian Baia Mare. Unfortunately, however, that wasn’t enough for the team from the Serbian capital to go through. Left back Djordje Pisaric, who already has SEHA experience from playing for Metaloplastika Sabac and left wing Nenad Maksic were also members of that talented 98’ generation.
Line player Ivan Micic, left back Stefan Petric and right winger Uros Kojadinovic on the other hand also have that national team experience as they were all members of the Serbian generation of 2000/2001. 21-year-old Kojadinovic is the best scorer of his team in the national championship so far with 67 goals. Following him is Nikola Ivanovic with 62.
Partizan Belgrade will play in SEHA – Gazprom League Group A alongside PPD Zagreb, Eurofarm Pelister and Tatran Presov.
