What unites these three footballers? Maracana! Namely, Trifun Mihajlović scored the first goal in the history of the Maracana as a pioneer of Red Star, Dušan Maravić did it as a senior of our club, while 60 years later, he is currently the last scorer in the biggest Serbian stadium - Kings Kangva, and how all the greats rejoiced with the goals in our second house, which will celebrate its sixth decade on Saturday from 20:00 at the free entrance to the match with Novi Pazar, one can talk for hours...

For a full 60 years, the Maracana has been our second home, and that's no small feat, when you consider all the anthology matches and great victories of Crvena Zvezda that the biggest stadium in Serbia has "survived".

"That feeling of ours, when you score a goal" perfectly describes one of the biggest synonyms that comes to mind for the average star player when he thinks of the Maracana - Red Star goals.

Some will forever be remembered among the star players, so the name of Trifun Mihajlović, then the pioneer of our club, is well known among the star players, given that the diminutive offensive player scored the first goal that Marakana had ever seen in a match against Jedinstvo from Zemun. That match was a prelude to the duel between Crvena Zvezda and Rijeka played on the same day when Dušan Maravić became the first senior of our club to score at the Maracana, and the match was attended by 55,000 fans. The largest attendance was recorded in 1975, when 96,070 souls gathered for a match against Ferencvaros.

Maracana has hosted numerous European finals, and it is also characteristic because it was the birthplace of the famous penalty - "panjenka", which was named after Antonin Panjenka, who "poked" the ball in our stadium.

The last game at the Maracana, Red Star played against Spartak Subotica when we celebrated with a score of 3:0, and the third goal was the work of Kings Kangwa...
