Montenegro's capital city, Podgorica is one of the oldest settlements in
this part of the Balkans.
The city’s turbulant history is portrayed through a large number of war
memorials. In the postwar communist period the city was known as
Titograd in honour of Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito. After the collapse
of communism, the city revived its old name, Podgorica, in 1992.
In terms of football, Podgorica is the home for Montenegro's national
team hosting national stars such as Dejan Savićević, Predrag Mijatović
and Mirko Vučinić. The Montenegrin national team, founded in 2006,
reached the playoffs for UEFA Euro 2012, the furthest they have
progressed to in the history of the national team.

PREVIOUS MEETING – 26 MARCH 2013
Montenegro 1 – 1 England
FIFA World Cup Qualifier, Group H
Stadion Pod Goricom, Podgorica
Attendance: 11,300
“England's path to World Cup qualification remains far from guaranteed as
Montenegro battled back to earn a deserved draw in Podgorica”
Wayne Rooney gave England a dream start, banishing the ghosts of his red card
from his last visit as he headed home Steven Gerrard's corner with just six minutes
on the clock and Roy Hodgson's side dominated the opening 45 minutes.
But the second half of the Group H contest was a completely different affair, with the
hosts in the ascendency and they grabbed a fully deserved leveller in the 77th minute
when half-time substitute Dejan Damjanovic forced home at the third attempt.
