1st Yugoslav Football League
The 1st Yugoslav Football League ( Serbo-Croatian Prva Liga / Прва Лига ) was founded in 1923 and was the top division of Yugoslavia . She was subordinate to the Fudbalski savez Jugoslavije - FSJ (German: Yugoslav Football Association). First, the winner was determined in a knockout system, later in the league system. The first master was Građanski Zagreb, the forerunner of Dinamo Zagreb . The 1st league of Yugoslavia lasted until 1992. Until then, Red Star Belgrade won the most titles , ahead of Partizan Belgrade .
The history
In the beginning only two teams from Croatia , two from Serbia , one from Slovenia and one from Bosnia-Herzegovina took part. Master was at the end of Građanski Zagreb, who defeated the SAŠK Sarajevo in the final with a replay (first leg 1: 1) with 4: 2. A year later, a seventh club was added, and the champions continued to play in the tournament system. The league mode was only used in 1927, but the number of teams had remained small. The first champion in the league was Hajduk Split , who qualified for the Mitropa Cup together with the second-placed BSK . After the winner was again identified in the 1931/32 season with the cup mode, the league was enlarged to eleven teams a year later in order to make the league more attractive and to maintain the league system. In the years of the Second World War , the league was shortened again and soon afterwards due to the occupation by the Axis powers .
Years of change
After the Second World War, the game was resumed and the cup competition was introduced. From then on, clubs from Belgrade , Split and Zagreb began to dominate . In 1950 the league was enlarged to twelve teams and in 1954 to 14. The Yugoslav league blossomed from decade to decade into a strong league and offered many good players. Shortly before the break-up of Yugoslavia, it was one of the strongest leagues in Europe.
