Abstract
Due to its strong political utility and its receptivity to the expression of ethnic and other identities and to the promotion of political ideas and movements in an indirect way, football in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was often a stage for the expression of political disputes and divisions. To be centralized, the state institutions were moved to the state capital Belgrade, and the relocation of the Football Association was part of that process. Relations in Yugoslav football continued to be burdened by numerous problems, especially between Zagreb and Belgrade, and political disputes between Serbs and Croats were also reflected in them. In football, there were increasing disputes, especially between representatives of prominent football clubs from Serbia and Croatia, which will also follow the political conflicts between Croats and Serbs at the national level. The Cvetković-Maček agreement established the territorial and political integrity of the Banovina of Croatia and reorganized football in Yugoslavia, creating the Croatian Football Association.
