Every year, the tournament is held in a new city and has a new host club. First Srbijada was hosted in 1993 in Windsor, Ontario by the Windsor Serbs soccer club. Ending in 2016, 24 consecutive tournaments were held. During Srbijada, five competitions are held. Tournaments are held in open, over 30, over 40 and over 50 division. Both open and over 30 categories have been in existence since the beginning of the tournament, while over 40 category was added to the tournament program in 1998.
