With continuously full stands at the European games (average attendance 5,000),[3][4] ŽRK Budućnost is the club with the highest average attendance in the history of Women's EHF Champions League.

Varvari

Varvari at a Montenegrin First League home match

Buducnost ultras are known as Varvari (Barbarians), a group founded in 1987.[6] The group's traditional colours are blue and white, which are also the colours of all the Budućnost sports clubs.

Today, Varvari are attending football, basketball and handball matches. In the past, they also attended volleyball matches.

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.[7]

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.

Since their foundation years, Varvari gained a reputation of being a violent group, and in recent history they made a few big accidents on the football matches. At First League 2004-05 game Budućnost - Partizan Belgrade, flares, blocks, construction materials and similar objects were thrown from the North stand to the pitch and match was abandoned for 15 minutes. Year later, game Budućnost - Crvena Zvezda Belgrade was suspended for two hours after home supporters (Varvari) threw tear gas on the pitch and, after that, attacked visitors' ultras.[8][9] On the spring 2006, there was a crowd violence on the local rivals game Budućnost - Zeta.[10] In the Montenegrin First League, numerous matches of FK Budućnost were suspended due to crowd violence or crowd-invasion to the pitch. During the last seasons, there was an escalation of violence on Montenegrin Derby games.

They are the best organised and largest fan group in Montenegro. According to many fan magazines from the Balkan they are the only fans in Montenegro who are on the level of the largest fan groups from ex-Yugoslavia.[11]
