معنی

Participating in a soccer match.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Soccer is the national sport. The 'Eternal Derby' between Red Star and Partizan is one of the most intense in the world. Playing soccer is a primary social activity for men of all ages. The concept of 'termin' (renting a hall) is a cultural staple. It's often followed by 'treće poluvreme' (the third half), which refers to going to a kafana or bar after the game. Street soccer is played on 'beton' (concrete) or 'veštak' (artificial grass). Skill and 'vic u igri' (creativity/trickery) are often valued more than physical strength in casual games. For Serbians living abroad, 'igrati fudbal' is a way to maintain connection with their community. Serbian clubs exist in almost every major city in Europe and North America.

💡

The 'Termin' Secret

If you want to make friends in Serbia, ask about their 'termin'. It's the ultimate social gateway.

⚠️

Don't say 'Soccer'

Even if you speak English with Serbians, call it 'football'. Calling it 'soccer' might get you some playful teasing.
