Fudbalski klub Radnički Niš (Serbian Cyrillic: Фудбалски клуб Раднички Ниш), or simply Radnički Niš, is a professional football club based in Niš, the third largest city in Serbia. The name Radnički means "Labourers" in Serbian and its roots comes from the relationship with the Labour movement that the club had during the first half of the 20th century.

Radnički Niš was one of the most stable clubs in the former Yugoslavia; the team spent a total of 29 seasons in the Yugoslav First League, achieved the 3rd place in 1980 and 1981, and finished in the Top 10 in the Yugoslav First League all-time table.[2] Radnički Niš also made it to the semifinals of the UEFA Cup in 1982.

Meraklije is plural of the singular form meraklija, which means something like "neko kome je sve po meri, neko ko uživa u nečemu", which roughly translates to "someone to just everything is right,[1] someone who enjoys something"; a person in this state is called a meraklija.
