Yugoslav First League 1939-40
- Yugoslav First League 1939-40
The Kingdom of Yugoslavia First League of 1939/40 was won by Građanski Zagreb.
The league played a contracted season. In 1939, Croatian and Slovenian clubs began leaving the Football Association of Yugoslavia and joining the Croatian Football Federation, in protest of the sports' centralization among Serbs in Belgrade. A Croatian-Slovenian Football League was announced, with the only Slovenian representative being NK Ljubljana. The Yugoslavian First League continued on, soon to be renamed the Serbian First League. The split was eventually rectified with the promise of more representation for Croats and Slovenes. A short, ten-game season was played.
Having been invaded by the Axis Powers in 1941, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was dissolved and any sport in the nation was virtually ended. One exception was the Nazi puppet state Independent State of Croatia (NDH), which enjoyed peace per se as an Axis member. The NDH continued to hold national competitions (featuring prominent teams such as Građanski Zagreb) and friendlies versus Axis states.
In 1946, the Federal League was established.
