Partizan U19

The academy moved to the SC Partizan-Teleoptik complex in 1998 and has kept working from there since, sending Dušan Vlahović, Aleksandar Mitrović and Nikola Milenković through its ranks in the more recent past — three careers that now run through some of the biggest clubs and squads in Europe. The work behind that output has been noticed outside Serbia too: the academy was named Best European Youth Work in 2006 and was ranked among the continent's best by the CIES Football Observatory in 2015 and 2019.

Domestically the age group has had to live in the shadow of Crvena Zvezda's youth side for most of the past decade, and matches between the two carry the weight of the Eternal Derby down to under-19 level. Continentally the picture has been brighter: Partizan's under-19s reached the Round of 16 of the UEFA Youth League in the 2024/25 season before Sporting Braga ended the run.

The current group trains under the same badge those graduates once wore, split between the Serbian U19 League and another crack at the Youth League, with the job now the same one it always was at Zemun — get the next name ready for the first team before someone else comes looking for him.
