List of Red Star Belgrade's official European matches from 1956 till today.

A brief history

Red Star’s European story began in 1956, in a small Dutch town of Kerkrade. The first rival in the first round of the 1956–57 European Cup was the Dutch champion Rapid JC (the club later change its name to Roda) and Bora Kostić scored the first European goal for Red Star. Since the first European Cup semi final, when Red Star was eliminated by Fiorentina, Red Star was 14 times in a European football cup competition quarter-final (without Mitropa Cup), and was a semi-finalist in each of the three cup competitions ( total of 6 times). Red Star steadily kept at this time its place among the first 15 on the UEFA ranking list, whereas it stood just behind the Real Madrid - F.C. Barcelona – tandem by the number of participations in European-Cups. In the domestic competitions there was no real concurrents and in 1991, they were finally ready for Europe and the road to Bari, where the final of the 1991 European Cup was played.
