Komiti Skopje (Macedonian: Комити Скопје) are a supporters group that follows the Macedonian sports clubs that compete under the Vardar banner, mainly FK Vardar in football and RK Vardar in handball.
The Ultras group KOMITI was noticed for the first time in the year 1985, on 'Zapad' (West Stand), where the most fanatic fans of Vardar always operated. Two years later, in God’s summer of 4 June 1987 at the City Stadium in Skopje was a derby match of the Yugoslav league at that time between Vardar Skopje and Red Star Belgrade (3:1). On 'Zapad' for the first time since existence of the club a banner with the writing 'KOMITI' was noticed. The idea contained the establishment of a massive and strong Macedonian ultra scene. The goal was for 'KOMITI' to make the prominent post of all activities and events on the West Stand. As the most acceptable name of the group was selected 'KOMITI'.
The reason for it was simple: When the Balkans were in the Middle Ages under occupation by the Ottomans, young Macedonians under the name 'KOMITI' had organized themselves, in order to fight against the tyranny. This name is very strong and the meaning of the name is closely linked with their goals, this is why they decided not to use one like the standard unimaginative names such as Brigate, Commando, Ultras, Boys etc. And so, the name 'KOMITI' was selected for the new born Ultra group.
'KOMITI' also have subgroups, some of them are: 'Red Black Drinkers', 'Skinheads' who call themselves 'OI Warriors' and 'Metal Force'. Until 1999, 'Combat 87' was also a strong and dominating subgroup of 'Komiti', however they existed by the separation of some members. Not to forget is also the 'Golden Lords', a subgroup from the Karpoš part of Skopje, on 11 November 1997 they were formed. The number of members is at 50, on derby up to 70. The older generation of Komiti, the so-called 'Stara Garda' (old guard), sits today on 'Jug' (South Stand) and counts up to 30 men, with up to 50 for important matches.
