Građanski Skopje

Gragjanski Skopje (Macedonian: Гpaѓaнcки Cкoпje, Serbian: Гpaђaнcки Cкoпљe, Građanski Skoplje) was a football club from Skopje. The club's major achievements were the two participations in the Yugoslav First League during the period of 1923 till 1940, and playing in the Bulgarian championship between 1941 and 1944. Between 1941 and 1947 it was called Macedonia Skopie (Bulgarian: Македония Скопие, Macedonian: Македониja Cкoпje).

Formed in 1922, Gragjanski was the most successful and the only club to participate in the Yugoslav First League from the present day territory of Republic of Macedonia in the period between 1923 until the WWII.

Initially it competed within the Belgrade Football Subassociation, one of the Subassociations of the Football Association of Yugoslavia, until 1927 when it became one of the founding members of the Skoplje Football Subassociation (SLP). The Subassociations were responsible for organising leagues, corresponding to the second or third Yugoslav tiers, depending on the exact period. After 1927 Gragjanski played mostly in the First Division of the SLP League having become SLP champion in 1936, 1938 and 1939. After this last title, as the Yugoslav league system was being modified drastically, Gragjanski qualified directly to the 1939–40 Serbian League. This league, along with the Croato-Slovenian League, were now the two leagues forming the Yugoslav Championship, and the winners of each one of them will dispute the Yugoslav Championship title. In 1937 it was adopted that the clubs playing in the top league (or leagues as in this case) will no longer play simultaneously in the Subassociation Leagues as well, so Gragjanski became completely focused on the Serbian League, and it paid-off, as the club made an impressive season by finishing 5th in the league, only 3 points behind the second placed team, SK Jugoslavija.
