FK Makedonija Gjorche Petrov (Macedonian:ФК Македонија Ѓорче Петров), commonly referred to asFK Makedonija G.P. (Macedonian:ФК Македонија Ѓ.П.), is afootball club based in the municipality ofGjorche Petrov, inSkopje,North Macedonia. They are currently playing in theMacedonian First League.
The club was founded in 1932 asHASK (Hanrievski amaterski sportski klub).[1] During its history, the club was also known asLokomotiva,Rudar,Industrijalec, andJugokokta. The club received its current name in the 1989/90 season in commemoration ofGyorche Petrov, a revolutionary considered an important figure of theInternal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization.
Makedonija entered theMacedonian First League when Macedonian Republic League transformed into First League in 1992. They were relegated in 1993/94 season. After playing one season in theMacedonian Second League they were back in the top division. In the 1997/98 season they finished third and qualified to play in theIntertoto Cup, where they played againstNK OlimpijaLjubljana fromSloveniain the first round, andSC Bastia fromFrance in the second. In the 2001/02 season they were relegated again, and played three seasons in the second division. Makedonija GP returned to the First League in the 2005/06 season with their best performance, finishing second.
The final game was held at the City Park National Arena. In a thriller match they won their first final by 3-2 with a goal in 92 second minute of stoppage time. The goal scorer was legendaryFilip Ivanovski.
They played in the qualifying rounds of theUEFA Cup 2006-07, where they lost toLokomotiv Sofia 3–1 on aggregate.
After Makedonija GP quit the first league at the 2009–10 season, the club was unable to participate at any senior level; however, the club's board took over a third-tier club MFK Treska from the nearby village of Šiševo, moving the team to Makedonija's stadium, and became supported by the old Makedonija's fans. MFK Treska won the Macedonian Third League North promotion play-off in 2010–11, and had been playing in theMacedonian Second League in the 2011–12 season with ambitions to gain promotion to the top flight by sharing the top place on the table after the first round of the season. The name change request was expected for some time now, and theFootball Federation of Macedonia, on January 10, 2012, finally accepted the request by MFK Treska to change its name and become officially registered as FK Makedonija Ǵorče Petrov, name under which they will compete for the rest of the season.[2]
FK Makedonija did not manage to climb high on the Championship table in the season 2022-23, and they ended up on 7th place. Only top three teams qualify for the European Competitions, so FK Makedonija had to focus on the national Cup. And they managed to defend the title from 2021-22 that brought them European summer again.
Makedonija plays it's matches atGeorge Petrov Stadium.Gjorče Petrov Stadium (Macedonian: Стадион Ѓорче Петров, English: George Petrov Stadium) is a multi-use stadium in Skopje, Macedonia. The stadium seats 3,000 people.The FK Makedonija pitch in its current location was created after the 1963 earthquake, when the area of the club's previous stadium (then called FK Rudar) was used to build houses for people who had lost their homes.The new stadium was opened in 1971 and had only one stand. In the 2004/2005 season, reconstruction was carried out: a second stand was built, the infrastructure was improved and the capacity of the old stand was increased.
