history
Emergence
When the management of the Beogradski SK (BSK) decided to travel to Austria-Hungary to play a friendly against Hajduk Split there, this decision caused a large part of the team to be incomprehensible. Since the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the dual monarchy in 1908, which ultimately led to the Bosnian annexation crisis, relations between part of the South Slav peoples and the leadership of the Habsburg monarchy deteriorated . Unsatisfied and in protest, some players decided to leave the club and start their own sports club . The dissidents were led by Danilo Stojanović , better known by his nickname Čika Daca , one of the greatest pioneers of Serbian football. Finally, on August 6, 1913, the players met in a Belgrade restaurant called the Casino and founded the football club SK Velika Srbija.
Other players quickly joined the club, so that SK Velika Srbija consisted of players from other sports clubs in addition to the former BSK players. This included the players from SK Slavija , a sports club from the Belgrade suburb of Vračar , several players from FK Šumadija , which was also founded by Danilo Stojanović, and the three Czech players Edvard Mifek , Vencel Petrovický and Alojz Mahek . The first game in the club's history was played against BSK, of all people, who had to admit defeat 2-0 in front of around 1000 spectators. The SK Velika Srbija celebrated its first success in 1914 when they won the Olympic Cup, the first organized football competition in the Kingdom of Serbia . The final was played on May 11th in Košutnjak , on the pitch of the BSK, where they defeated FK Šumadija 3-1 with two goals from Alojz Mahek and one from Mileta Jovanović.
First World War and own stadium
With the beginning of the First World War , the association had to cease its activities until the end of the war. In 1919 the club had to change its name to SK Jugoslavija . The first post-war game took place against a selection that consisted of British sailors and that you could win 9-0. This was the club's first game in red jerseys, which over time gave them the nickname Crveni ("The Reds"). Until then, they had worn green jerseys. The field on which the match between SK Jugoslavija and the British team took place was renovated in the same year and it received a new football field and several tennis courts.
From then on it was named Trkalište . It was located near the city center but was demolished in 1925 after the club received a new pitch, which was located at Topčidersko brdo , exactly where the Rajko Mitić stadium is now . It had a capacity for 30,000 spectators and included an athletics facility , a grass field , a training field and a clubhouse. It was officially inaugurated on April 24, 1927. In 1932 the stadium received its own lighting system. The game against the French club Racing Club de France on June 22, 1932 was the first game in Yugoslavia that was played in the evening. During this period the club became Yugoslav champions in 1924 and 1925.
World War II and expropriation
After the occupation of Yugoslavia by the Axis Powers in 1941, the association was forced to change its name to SK 1913 . In the years of fascist occupation, the Yugoslav championship was not held, but the club continued to play in the Serbian league, which was held from 1941 to 1944. The club won the 1941/42 season, while the other two were won by the BSK. After the Second World War , the club was dissolved by the new communist authorities in 1945 and its property, including the stadium and the training area, was later to be transferred to the newly established Red Star Belgrade sports club . Red Star even received some players, the club colors and even the club logo were derived from SK Jugoslavija. Thus, Red Star was practically formed from the SK Jugoslavija or SK Velika Srbija. However, Red Star Belgrade never considered itself a successor to SK Jugoslavija, while some others, including numerous fans, claim so and are considering a new founding date for Red Star. This history is still controversially discussed today.
