The subassociations organised different levels of leagues which served as qualification leagues for the Yugoslav championship.[19] From 1945 until 1991, football in the former Yugoslavia advanced so fast that in 1946 theFootball Federation of Kosovo was formed as a subsidiary of the Football Federation of Yugoslavia. The most successful team from Kosovo in the first league of Yugoslavia was FC Prishtina. In 1991 the Football Federation of Kosovo was refounded after all football players from Kosovo were banned from the First League in Yugoslavia. The first game was held inKF Flamurtari's stadium on 13 September 1991 inPristina, which also marked the start of the first independent championship in Kosovo.
