TheFirst League of Yugoslavia's 1991/1992 season was the 64th edition of theYugoslav First League, the premier football club competition ofSFR Yugoslavia. It was the last edition in which professional football teams fromSR Bosnia and Herzegovina (with one exception) andSR Macedonia participated, as well as the last of theSFR Yugoslavia in general as theFirst League of FR Yugoslavia was established the following season.Red Star Belgrade won the competition.[1]
Before the start of the season,Croatia andSlovenia were already in the process of seeking independence from Yugoslavia. Teams from Croatia and Slovenia that qualified for the competition left it before the season started.Dinamo Zagreb,Hajduk Split,NK Osijek,NK Rijeka and (newly promoted)NK Zagreb left to join newly createdCroatian championship, whileOlimpija Ljubljana left to join newly createdSlovenian championship.[1] Thus, this season was competed only by teams fromSR Serbia,SR Montenegro,SR Bosnia and Herzegovina andSR Macedonia. During the course of the season, first Macedonia, and then Bosnia and Herzegovina also declared independence from Yugoslavia, and theBosnian War started. Because of that,Željezničar Sarajevo missed the second half of the season, and three more Bosnian teams (Sarajevo,Sloboda Tuzla, andVelež Mostar) left the competition six rounds before its completion. Remaining Bosnian team (Borac Banja Luka) and two Macedonian teams played the whole season.[1]
After the season was concluded, Macedonian teams left the competition to join the newly createdMacedonian First League. Three ethnic football leagues were created in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the next season: first, theCroats formed theFirst League of Herzeg-Bosnia, then theBosniaks formed theChampionship of Bosnia and Herzegovina which later became theUEFA recognized competition. Lastly, theSerbs formed theFirst League of the Republika Srpska. Thus, the following 1992–93 season of the Yugoslav First League was played by teams fromSR Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) and one Bosnian team –Borac Banja Luka which played its home games inBelgrade.[1] Because of the large numbers of teams leaving the league, seven new teams were promoted to the first league for 1992–93 season, all from Serbia and Montenegro:Napredak Kruševac,Hajduk Kula,Bečej,Mogren Budva,Kikinda,Radnički Novi Beograd, andFK Pristina.[1]
Due to the wars inSlovenia andCroatia, theCroatian Football Federation banned the participation of clubs from the territory of Croatia in the championship of Yugoslavia. The presidency ofFootball Association of Yugoslavia decided to fill the First League with teams that were relegatedin the previous season (Budućnost,Sloboda andSpartak) and to promote teams from the second league (Vardar,OFK Belgrade andPelister).Ljubljana wanted to participate, but they were under pressure from theirfootball association, and decide to leave Yugoslav competition before first round match against Partizan in Belgrade. Therefore, Football Association of Yugoslavia promotedSutjeska.
Red Star Belgrade, as the current winner of the1990–91 European Cup and eventual winner of1991 Intercontinental Cup, was favorite to win the championship.Slobodan Marović,Robert Prosinečki,Refik Šabanadžović,Dragiša Binić,Stevan Stojanović and coachLjupko Petrović left the team, whileDragoje Leković,Milorad Ratković andIlija Ivić joined the team in the summer transfer window, whileVladica Popović became the new coach.
Partizan appointedIvica Osim, the current head coach of theYugoslavia national football team, as new coach.Ljubomir Vorkapić,Nebojša Gudelj,Branko Brnović,Slobodan Krčmarević andZlatko Zahovič were brought to the club, whileGordan Petrić andSlaviša Jokanović returned from obligatory military service inYugoslav People's Army.
However, growing tensions inBosnia and Herzegovina made it impossible to finish the season regularly. In the 25th round on March 29, 1992, the team ofRadnički Niš did not came to their match againstVelež in Mostar, fearing for their safety, so the victory was awarded to Velež. In the next round, on April 5, 1992, the matchŽeljezničar-Rad in Sarajevo did not begin, because before the game shootings started in the vicinity ofGrbavica Stadium. Since that round, the teams from Bosnia and Herzegovina (exceptBorac fromBanja Luka) are no longer able to organize matches on their home ground, nor have they been able to assemble their teams for away matches. Association of First Federal League clubs decided to cancel all the matches played by Željezničar in the spring part of the season, since the club played less than half of the matches in the spring part. The matches played by Sarajevo, Velež and Sloboda were recognized because these clubs played more than half of the matches in the spring part of the season, scheduled matches were registered as wins for their opponents, while the scheduled matches between these three clubs were also deleted.
In the end, Red Star won the title with 50 points, while Partizan was second with 46 points. If the results of the matches of Sarajevo, Velež and Sloboda were deleted too, new champion would become Partizan.
