GFK Tikvesh 1930 (Macedonian: Градски Фудбалски Клуб Тиквеш 1930), commonly referred to as Tikvesh, is a professional football club from Kavadarci, North Macedonia, that currently competes in the Macedonian First League. After playing at different home grounds in the early years,[1] the club moved to Gradski Stadion Kavadarci on 19 March 1950 and have remained there since.

The 'golden age' of the club came in the late 1960s and lasted throughout the entire 1970s. Tikvesh had won the Macedonian Republic League twice (1971–72; 1977–78), and they have competed in the Yugoslav Second League for five seasons (1955–56; 1968–69; 1969–70; 1972–73; 1978–79). Tikvesh was one of the 18 founding members of the Macedonian First League in 1992. The club's traditional colours are red and white, they are nicknamed the Winegrowers and they have contested the Winegrowers Derby with their neighbouring rivals FK Vardar Negotino, although Tikvesh have predominantly played in higher league so their meetings have only been sporadic.

History

Foundation and early years

FK Tikvesh in 1933 – Blazho Ponchev, Lazo Josifov, Razvigor Tentov, Aleksandar Hadzhivasilev, Kiro Hadzhilazov, Boro Ponchev, Aleksandar Shemov, Ilija Banjanski, Nakjo Kimov, Fercho Chejkov, Ilija Mukaetov, A. Chaejov

Tikvesh was founded on 21 December 1930[2][3] by a group of young enthusiasts who held their meeting in the Balkan restaurant in Kavadarci. Slavcho Temkov became the first president of the newly formed club, Todor Janakiev was chosen as secretary while Aleksandar Hadzhivasilev was the first main sponsor.[4]

The club's early years were mostly spent playing friendly matches with other teams from

Macedonian Republic League, level on points with 5th placed FK Shar Tetovo but weaker goal difference.[10]

1950s and 1960s (Vuko Karov's era)

First taste of success

The club made its first notable achievements in the 1950s.

In 1950 the

Yugoslavia.[11] Tikvesh started their qualification campaign for the Yugoslav Third League with a 4–2 win against FK Crvena Dzvezda (Veles), followed by a 3–1 win over FK Goce Delchev (Prilep). These two wins gave Tikvesh a chance to play further in two-legged play-off games. But they failed to qualify in the Yugoslav Third League after losing 4–1 (home) and 7–1 (away) to Rudar, and 11–0 (away) and 4–1 (home) to Radnički,[12] who later went on to win the Yugoslav Third League and were promoted to the Yugoslav Second League alongside Rudar. The 11–0 loss by Radnički is Tikvesh's largest defeat. After failing to qualify in the Yugoslav Third League, Tikvesh continued the season in the Macedonian Republic League and finished in third place, behind champions FK Rabotnik Bitola and second placed FK Goce Delchev (Prilep).[13][14]

During the 1950s and 1960s the league system was changed several times and the

Yugoslavia at the time) for the first time in its existence. The club's stay in the Yugoslav IV Zona was short-lived as they were relegated the following season,[19] together with Rabotnik Bitola, Borac Čačak and Bregalnica Shtip, while Vardar Skopje won the league and were promoted to the Yugoslav First League
.

After relegation from the Yugoslav IV Zona, Tikvesh went on to win comfortably the Shtip Division in 1956–57 with some high-scoring road wins[20] while registering 14 wins-2 draws-2 losses. Consistency followed in the next season, as the side led in attack by Vuko Karov and Blazho Malinkov finished as runners-up to Belasica Strumica in the Shtip Division only on goal difference.[21]

In the early and mid 1960s Tikvesh were second-best on four occasions in the

1st FK Rabotnichki Skopje
).

In

Rabotnichki Skopje in the Macedonian Republic League, but had done enough to gain promotion to the Yugoslav Second League – East. In 1968–69 Tikvesh avoided relegation from the Yugoslav Second League – East[22] and finished one point ahead of Ei Mladost Niš, securing survival with one game to go after a late run of good results.[23] Angel Kimov and Gligor Totov combined for 18 league goals (Kimov 10 and Totov 8), while Miodrag Aleksić, a winter loan signing from FK Vojvodina scored 6 goals. They failed to establish themselves in the Yugoslav Second League – East
and to avoid the drop in the 1969–70 season.

FK Tikvesh in late 1960s – Blazho Malinkov, Angel Kimov, Ordancho Milkov, Lazar Damevski, Dushko Popov, Borche Georgiev, Zlatko Milosovski, Nakjo Totovski, Ljupcho Icev, Trajche Nikolov, Krste Jovanov, Vitomir Stefanov, Cvetko Kabramov

Golden 1970s

Led by the renowned goalscorer Angel Kimov (

Macedonian Republic League after finishing 15th out of 18 teams, a position that would have guaranteed survival in the previous seasons. But due to drastic changes in the Yugoslav football league system in 1973 Tikvesh were relegated from the Yugoslav Second League – East.[25]

On their return to the

Macedonian Republic League in 1973–74 Tikvesh achieved 3rd place whilst in the next season (1974–75) they went one place better and finished as runners-up to FK Pelister Bitola
.

Tikvesh won their second title in

, a recurring scenario from 1955–56 season.

In the 12-year period from 1967 to 1979, Tikvesh competed for four seasons in the Yugoslav Second League (1968–69,[22] 1969–70,[26] 1972–73[27] and 1978–79[28]), were Macedonian champions twice (1971–72 and 1977–78), finished as runners-up twice (1967–68 and 1974–75) and sustained one third-place finish (1973–74).

1990s and the new century

7th in the table. A succession of managers followed,[35] but despite well-known signings (such as Dejvi Glavevski, Dzhevdet Shainovski, Sasho Karadzhov, Arbnor Morina, Vlado Šuvak, Đorđe Iskić) Tikvesh failed to achieve any significant results,[36]
never breaking into the top four and therefore failing to qualify for European competition.

Bankruptcy and rejuvenation

Former youth player Vanche Shikov

In

Macedonian First League lowest ever points total,[37] going through an entire season with only one win. With a drastic improvement in form the following season Tikvesh made an immediate return to the top-flight by winning the Macedonian Second League
.

In a turbulent

Macedonian First League
Tikvesh fell into serious financial difficulties, and a downward spiral set in.

Philip II Arena
on 19 June 2005. The 90 minutes ended with a 0–0 draw and after 30 minutes of extra time Tikvesh lost 3–1. Shortly afterwards in 2006–07 season the club went into bankruptcy.

Eventually the club was rejuvenated under the name of FK Tikvesh Nacional (

Macedonia
, achieving promotion at the first attempt in 2007–08. In 2008–09 FK Tikvesh Nacional played in the
Macedonian Third League – South and finished the season in 5th place.[41]

In the summer of 2009 the

Macedonian Third League – South and were promoted as champions.[42]

In

FK Drita 2–1 in the first round and FK Osogovo 3–1 on aggregate in the second round, in the quarter-final Tikvesh overcame a 4–1 first-leg deficit to defeat FK Vardar,[43] a 4–0 win at home in the second-leg made it 5–4 on aggregate, and Tikvesh went through to the semi-finals where they eventually lost to FK Teteks
over two legs (0–0; 0–6).

After the first half of the season in

FK Drita.[44] But they had started poorly in the second half of the season and on 25 March 2012 Metodija Sapundzhiev resigned as manager after three defeats in a row.[45] Nikola Gligorov was appointed as new manager, and in the end they finished 7th in the table.[46]

Tikvesh players salute their fans, 2011–12

After a below-average start to the

2012–13 season, 1 win-3 draws-2 losses, Tikvesh dismissed manager Nikola Gligorov[47] on 25 September 2012 and Blagoja Kitanovski was appointed as his successor, but he stayed only until the winter break and left the club. This was Kitanovski's third short spell in Tikvesh, he previously coached the team in 2000 and 2003.[39]
The club's precarious financial situation was obvious, and during the winter break most of the first team players left. The 2012–13 season also saw the supporters' campaign (For better Tikvesh; Macedonian: За подобар Тиквеш)[50] against the club's board of directors. They were increasingly convinced that the board was lacking ambition and football knowledge, sarcastically nicknaming the board – The Visionaries. 1930 supporters signed a petition demanding the board to step down, although there were greater levels of interest the decision was made to hand over the petition with only 1930 signatures because this number is representative of the year of Tikvesh's foundation.

Tikvesh's crisis deepened in 2013–14 season. The relations between the club's board of directors and the players (backed by the fans) deteriorated, subsequently leading to players' revolt and boycott of the matches.

Macedonian Third League – South after they refused to play against FK Mlekar and FK Topolchani.[52][53]

After a tumultuous summer and a newly assembled board of directors, Tikvesh begun the 2014–15 season competing in the lowest rank of Macedonian football. They won the league and gained promotion to the

Macedonian Third League – South through play-off matches, winning comfortably 8–0 and 3–0 against FK Gemidhzii and FK Kozhuf
respectively.

In 2015–16 season Tikvesh finished in 3rd place in the

Second League, which saw them returning to the second rank of the Macedonian football after three years' absence.[54][55]

The battle for promotion to the top tier and loss in the play-offs

Tikvesh entered the 2018–19 season with a serious ambition for promotion to the top-flight, but following an inconsistent start their automatic promotion bid fell short in the end as they finished as runners-up to FK Borec Veles, and only managed to qualify for the play-offs. On 2 June 2019, in heavy rain, in a match played at Gjorche Petrov Stadium in Skopje, Tikvesh defeated FK Labunishta 6–3 in the play-off semi-final and reached the final.[56] But on 5 June 2019, with only 3 days for recovery while having an extended injury list Tikvesh narrowly lost (3–2) the play-off final to FK Sileks Kratovo.[57]

Macedonia
.

Rivalry

Tikvesh's fiercest rival is

Macedonian First League. Despite numerous previous "friendly" encounters, the first official league meeting between the clubs took place on 22 March 1953 in Negotino, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[71] The highest-scoring Winegrowers league derby was played in 1961–62 when Tikvesh won 6–4.[72] while biggest win is Tikvesh's 5–0 victory in 1973–74.[73]
