Jedinstvo Belgrade

SK Jedinstvo Beograd () was a Serbian Association football, football club based in Belgrade, Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

History

Jedinstvo was formed on May 11, 1924Sportista, Belgrade 12 May 1924, page 4 by the merger of two Belgrade clubs, ''Vardar'' and ''Konkordija'', both of which competed in Belgrade Football Subassociation, Belgrade Subassociation League until that year. They received the field of SK Srpski mač for use from the Belgrade municipality. At first their shirts were white with purple stripes but soon afterwards they changed to fuchsia, then green, and since then they became known as "Zeleni", ''The Greens'' in Serbian. Jedinstvo became one of the most important clubs in Belgrade during the pre-1945 period, right along OFK Beograd, BSK, SK Jugoslavija and FK BASK, BASK.

It competed in the Yugoslav First League in the seasons 1937–38 Yugoslav Football Championship, 1937–38, finishing 8th, and in the season 1938–39 Yugoslav Football Championship, 1938–39, when it finished on 6th. Due to the reduction of the number of clubs in the league from 12 to 6, it did not participate in the 1939–40 Yugoslav Football Championship, 1939–40 season which was the last before the beginning of the Second World War that would lead to the creation of a separate Croatian and Serbian Football League (1940–1944), Serbian Championships. As result, in 1940–41 Serbian League, 1940–41 a so-called Serbian League was played with Jedinstvo finishing in 4th place.

With the intensification of the war, and the following change of regime, the club ended up being disbanded in 1945.
