FC Shkupi (Macedonian:Фудбалски Клуб Шкупи,romanized: Fudbalski Klub Škupi,Albanian:Klubi Futbollistik Shkupi) is a professionalfootballclub based inČair, Skopje, North Macedonia. The club plays in theMacedonian First Football League, which is the top tier offootball in North Macedonia.
After financial issues with main sponsor Jugomagnat,Sloga went through an unstable period. In 2012, Sloga was merged with FC Albarsa to form FK Shkupi. However, theFootball Federation of Macedonia does not consider Shkupi to be successors to the original Sloga Jugomagnat forpolitical reasons as the FFM allowed a merging betweenVardar, the most popular club amongethnic Macedonians andMiravci with Vardar avoiding relegation and keeping its previous trophies and accolades.[1] Despite the FFM not recognising Shkupi's track records and honours as Sloga, Sloga's official support firm, previous players and management, recognize Shkupi as its successor.
After finishing fourth in the2017–18 season of the Macedonian First League, Shkupi played in the Europa League qualifiers for the first time. In the2021–22 season the club were crowned the champion of country for the first time in its history.
On 13 February 2011, a large gathering ofVardar supporters,Komiti Skopje, congregated at theSkopje Fortress to protect a construction site on the grounds of the fortress.[2]
The Shvercerat are known for taking rival team supporter's banner. They have succeeded in taking theKratovo banner ofSileks, theVojvodi banner ofTeteks,Komiti Zapad banner of Vardar,Vinari banner ofVardar Negotino,Prilep banner ofPobeda,Green Front andBFC Hooligans banners ofPelister.[3][4]
