Serbia was part of the Yugoslav league until 1990/91, when the country was broken up into several different ones. Points are therefore shared among what are now other nations up until that time. In 1992 and since then, Serbian clubs are in their own competition.
In the Superliga Srbije, the top four are rewarded with 6, 3, 2 and 1. The Kup Srbije 4 and 2 points for the finalists only. Up to 8 points are awarded for European success. RS Belgrade has won the last ten league titles. Over that period, Partizan has come second eight times. Those two sides have all titles since 1989/90 bar one.All put together, the clubs are below. The grand total is shown for each club, divided into regions with a ranking number (Rk), which gives their place compared to all the other clubs. As you will have worked out by now, it is a two team country when it comes to success.
Belgrade is the capital city and its urban area makes up just over 20% of the population. It has the two most successful clubs and 84.3% of the points earned are for clubs from here. Because of that, I only have two other areas, North and Rest.
Crowd trouble has marred football matches for many years. Rivalry between Red Star and Partizan fans has been intense since the clubs were founded in 1945. It is known as the Eternal Derby.
