Yugoslavia III Division

 

Yugoslavia. Ranked 10^th. One more country to experiment with new rules in the 1980s: 3 points for a win, but also no ties – penalty shoot-out instead, giving 1 point to the winner and nothing to the loser. Political problems were boiling as well in the country, although the bloody disintegration was not yet expected. Crvena zvezda dominated the season entirely. Second Division was now unified in a single league of 20 teams, the last 4 relegated to third level, the Inter-Republic Leagues. A glimpse of teams from third level – because some were former First or Second Division clubs and others will emerge from obscurity after the disintegration of Yugoslavia.

FK Novi Sad (Novi Sad)

Kabel (Novi Sad)

GIK Ramiz Sadiku (Prishtina)

Jedinstvo (Brcko)

Junak (Sinj)

Pobeda (Prilep)

Rabotnicki (Skopje)

Teteks (Tetovo)

FAMOS (Hrasnica)

AIK (Backa Topola)

FK Novi Pazar (Novi Pazar)

But most important were the teams winning promotion to Second Division: 4 teams, all of them having quite significant past and practically returning to the spotlight:

Mogren (Budva), Radnicki (Belgrade), FK Bor (Bor), and

NK Zagreb (Zagreb).
