The first football club in the region – FC Bačka – was founded in Palić, close to Subotica, in 1901. The basic blueprint for the stadium was made by the famous Eiffel.

In 1937, in Srbobran there were 37 pubs, the same number of orchestras, 2 hotels and 2 cinemas. The townspeople, who were not outnumbered by Novi Sad, had a chance to read two daily newspapers in the Serbian language. They travelled to Pest and Vienna by ten registered taxis.
