who competed with them there, and in the last round of the season 2000–01 with a win against FK Sarajevo and the goals made by Gredić and Cerić, made sure they would remain in the elite for another year. The team consisted of the following players at the time: Alen Krak, Dženan Uščuplić, Almir Seferović, Nihad Suljević, Nihad Alić, Muamer Jahić, Samir Mekić, Emir Obuća, Almir Gredić, Tarik Cerić, Aner Ljeljak, Sead Bučan, Zajko Zeba, Elvir Ljubunčić, Ahmed Hadžispahić, Hasanović and Edis Čindrak.
