TheFootball Association of Yugoslavia (FSJ) (Serbian:Фудбалски савез Југославије,romanized: Fudbalski savez Jugoslavije,Croatian:Jugoslavenski nogometni savez;Slovene:Nogometna zveza Jugoslavije;Macedonian:Фудбалски Сојуз на Југославија,romanized: Fudbalski Sojuz na Jugoslavija) was the governing body offootball inYugoslavia, based inBelgrade, with a major administrative branch inZagreb.
It organized theYugoslav First League, theYugoslavia national football team, and the Second Leagues of all six former Yugoslav republics.
It was formed in April 1919 inZagreb under the nameJugoslavenski nogometni savez. The FA became the temporary member ofFIFA on 4 May 1921 and permanent member on 20 May 1923. The name later changed toNogometni savez Jugoslavije.After disagreements between the Zagreb and Belgrade subassociations in 1929, the Assembly of Football Association of Yugoslavia was dissolved in 1929, subsequently with the6 January Dictatorship; the association headquarters moved to Belgrade next year, on 16 March 1930 where the organization modified its name toFudbalski Savez Jugoslavije.[1]
During this time there were several subassociations which organized football on the regional level. These were:[2]
On 1 October 1939, the association was reestablished as the Supreme Football Association of Yugoslavia (Vrhovni nogometni savez Jugoslavije), which was made up of the associations: the Slovenian Football Federation (Slovenska nogometna zveza) covering theDrava Banovina, the Croatian Football Federation (Hrvatski nogometni savez) covering theBanovina of Croatia, and the Serbian Football Federation (Srpski loptački savez) covering the remainder of the state. This new created association is formed new subassociation:Sušak Football Subassociation (January 1940) andMaribor andCelje Football Subassociation (in late 1940).In 1954 Football Association of Yugoslavia became the member ofUEFA.
In 1992, theSFR Yugoslavia dissolved, but the republics ofSerbia andMontenegro reconstituted a union under the nameFR Yugoslavia, claiming the succession of the former Yugoslavia exclusively for themselves, including the football association, so they kept the football association along with its membership inFIFA andUEFA. The Football Association of Yugoslavia was replaced by theFootball Association of Serbia and Montenegro in 2003, when the nation changed its name toSerbia and Montenegro.
