. After four legs, they were second in the group with four points.
During their second spell in the Balkans Cup
, in 1991, Budućnost reached the final losing to FC Inter Sibiu
.
Buducnost fans are known as Varvari
(Barbarians). The group's traditional colours are blue and white, which are also the colours of all the Budućnost sports clubs. For FK Budućnost Podgorica home games, Varvari occupy the northern stand (Sjever) of the Podgorica city stadium
. They also have a reserved stand at the Morača Sports Center
, as supporters of KK Buducnost basketball club. However, since the early 2000s they have boycotted basketball team matches, because of a dispute with the clubs management.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Varvari maintained close links with Red Star Belgrade supporters group, Delije. This was seen as a natural extension of the historical and cultural closeness of Montenegro and Serbia, as well as the two republics continuing as part of the same country after the final breakup of SFR Yugoslavia in 1992. However, this Delije-Varvari relationship changed towards the late 1990s as the relations of Montenegrin and Serbian political leaders within the country became more strained.
The focal point for the group during the late 1990s was the basketball club, which started investing heavily while the football club toiled in the lower half of the table. This changed in 2000 when Varvari became embroiled in a row with the basketball club's management. Varvari have since boycotted the basketball club's matches.
