History

The club was founded on August 6, 1913

Hajduk Split, this group left BSK and formed their own club, naming it SK Velika Srbija.[2] The leader of the group was Danilo Stojanović, better known as Čika Dača, considered one of the major pioneers of football in the Kingdom of Serbia.[1] Beside a group of former BSK players, the squad was formed by footballers from another Belgrade club, SK Slavija from Belgrade suburb Vračar, a number of players from another club formed by Stojanović, FK Šumadija, and Czech footballers Edvard Mifek, Venčel Petrovický and Alois Machek.[1] The first match was played against BSK, a 2–0 loss.[1] In 1914 they become the champions of the Serbian Olympic Cup which was considered to be the first organised football club competition in the Kingdom. The final was played on May 11 in Košutnjak in the field of BSK in which Velika Srbija won Šumadija by 3–1 with two goals from Alois Machek and one from Mileta Jovanović.[3]

With the beginning of the

Racing Club Paris on June 22, 1932, became the first ever night match to be played in Yugoslavia.[5][6] In the period between the wars, there were two sports newspapers in Belgrade which also followed the trend marked by the rivalry of the city derby, Sportista, which was close to BSK, and Sport, close to Jugoslavija.[7]

SK Jugoslavija won the

1925, and participated in 14, out of 17, final stages of the Yugoslav Championship. Jugoslavia also won the Yugoslav Cup in 1936.[8]

In 1941 the club changed its name to SK 1913

German occupied Serbia
. The Serbian League as top tier was played from 1941 until 1944 and had three editions, the first of which was won by SK Jugoslavija, and the following two by BSK.

Dissolution and establishment of Red Star

Prominent clubs throughout Yugoslavia that were considered politically and ideologically incompatible by the new

United Antifascist Youth League commenced the establishment of a new multi-sports society. Toward that end the remaining footballers and sporting facilities of SK Jugoslavija were expropriated by the Communist Party. On 4 March a mass meeting was held in the Belgrade's State Institute for Physical Culture (old DIF), during which a new sports society dubbed "Crvena Zvezda" was proclaimed.[10] The football branch was composed of former "reds" Milovan Ćirić (the first captain of Red Star), Predrag Đajić, Božidar Drenovac, Ljubomir Lovrić, Mladen Kašanin, Mile Kos, Milivoje Đorđević, Dragomir Diklić, Miomir Petrović, Aleksandar Petrović, and Miodrag "Mališa" Petrović amongst others. The new squad was further amalgamated by a substantial contingent of BSK players, which included Svetislav Glišović (serving as the first coach of Red Star), Kosta Tomašević, Rajko Mitić, Branko Stanković, Miodrag Jovanović, Srđan Mrkušić, and Đura Horvatinović. Slobodan Ćosić and Zoran Žujović from Slavija Belgrade were appointed as club directors.[11]

On 5 May 1945, Communist Party Secretary of Sports Mitra Mitrović-Djilas officially signed a decree dissolving all football clubs without formal ties to the regime. Labelled as "bourgeois collaborators", these included most major pre-war clubs who continued playing during the occupation.[12] The new club carried much of SK Jugoslavija's fan base and served as the national team of SR Serbia, winning the first post-war tournament in September 1945, before officially commencing the 1946-47 Yugoslav First League season as Red Star.[13]

The SK Jugoslavija Stadium, colloquially named "Avala" was appropriated and renamed "Red Star Stadium".[14] The club also inherited the red and white colours of Jugoslavija, reviving the now iconic vertical stripe jersey in 1950, as worn by Jugoslavija in season 1943-44.[15][16] That year the club also adopted a new crest resembling Jugoslavija's shield albeit with a superimposed petokraka.[17]

Although Red Star Belgrade has at times acknowledged its historical links with SK Jugoslavija it does not consider itself a formal successor, unlike, for example OFK Belgrade and Dinamo Zagreb who claim continuity with the respective local pre-war football clubs.[18][19][20] By the late 1980s all living former Jugoslavija players were inducted as honorary Crvena Zvezda veterans in an association headed by Rajko Mitić. In 2020 Miodrag "Mališa" Petrović died at the age of 94. He was the last surviving former member of SK Jugoslavija and the last witness to the formation of Crvena Zvezda.[21]
