History Yugoslav years The women's volleyball department was established in 1946 and participated in the Yugoslav Volleyball Championship and Cup. Its most successful period was during the 1950s and 1960s, when it won the Yugoslav Championship on eight occasions and the Yugoslav Cup twice. The women's volleyball department was dissolved in 1972.

Under the agreement, Partizan conceded its name, logo and colours to be used by Vizura's structure, creating a team called . In the 2013–14 season, the team won the Super Cup, finished second in the Serbian Cup and won the Serbian Super League. After that one season, the association ended.

During the summer of 2016, the management of the OK Partizan, led by the president of the club, Predrag Golijanin, and at the initiative of the famous volleyball player Željko Tanasković, decided to re-establish the women's team after a 44 years absence. Renewed ŽOK Partizan became administrated by OK Partizan under the organization of JSD Partizan. The women's department has teams in many categories (senior, junior, youth) competing in the 2016–17 season.

Since autumn 2016, OK Partizan founded a volleyball school for girls of all ages. The school is led by coaches that have extensive experience working with all selections.
