History

[edit]

Fudball club SSK an acronym for Skopski sportski klub(Sports Club Skopje), later Metalec Skopje, was a Macedonian football club based in the city of Skopje. Between 1921 and 1941 it was known as SSK.The club was founded as Skopski sportski klub in 1921 and was incorporated into Skopje parish, one of the districts into which the subfederation was divided. In December 1927 the club joined the newly formed Subfederation.

The Glory Days

[edit]

The best period for the club were the 1930s.It started in 1930 when they've won their first title, all though the autumn part of the season was canceled.In 1931 [1] they've managed to compete in the qualifiers for the Jugoslav championship. SSK lost in the play off against Soko Belgrade (2–3 and 1–4). In the following 3 seasons they've won the championship each time, but never managed to qualify for the Jugoslav championship. In 1932 they've finished fifth, ahead of Gragjanski. In 1933 they've tried again, but they've lost in the 2nd qualifying round against Jedinstvo Parachin (0–4 and 2–0), while in 1934 they've finished fifth in the 2nd qualifying group. They became champions twice more in 1939 and 1940, but still failed to reach the Jugoslav championship. In 1939 they were defeated in the play-off final by FK Vojvodina (2–2 and 1–4), only to be eliminated in the repechage by Balshich (0–1 and 1–2). In 1940, after eliminating Zheleznichar Nish and Jedinstvo Chachak,they've lost the final against Jugoslavija Jabuka (2–4 and 2–4), and later in the play-off by BASK Belgrade (3–2 and 0–3). In 1941 SSK made fusion with Gragjanski and formed FK Makedonija.

New Beginning

In 1946 SSK was re-established as FK Dinamo Skopje, and entered the Macedonian Republic League championships. In 1948 they've won the championship and played qualification for second federal division. Later on the Metal Industry Cooperation became main sponsor of the team and the name Dinamo was changed with Metalec Skopje.They've won the championship in 1955 and got promoted to the second federal division at the time divided into 5 zones, where it remained for two seasons. In 1960 it merged with FK Industrijalec(known as former JUG Skopje) to form MIK Skopje, acronym for "Metalska Industrija Kale". They won the Macedonian Republic League,the last time in 1970. As FK MIK, the club competed for two seasons in the Yugoslav Second League East where they played with teams from federal Republics of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.FK MIK (Metalska Industrija Kale) later changed their name to FK Skopje during the 1973–74 season.
