## Supporters

Ibar fans are known as Gazije (from Arabic: ghāzī or ghazah, gazi; from ghazw, plural: ghazawāt; meaning 'armed incursion with the intention of conquering'. Gazije were the defenders of Islam in the period of the Ottoman Empire.) The group is founded in 1996. The group's traditional colours are black and white, which are also the colours of the football club FK Ibar where Gazije first started giving their support. After the football club failed to reach the First Montenegrin League in 2006., 2007. and 2008., the footballers lost the support of fans since they failed to win the away play-off match against FK Dečić for the First league placement. The basketball club was first time supported by a big group of supporters in the first matches of Erste League.
