BSK U SREDNJOEVROPSKOM (MITROPA) KUPU

As a sport, football has developed a great deal after World War I. We can safely take into account the contribution of the professionalism which was being implemented in Austria, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. This professionalism had already been developed by football teams in Italy and in the UK, so the sport was beginning to attract more and more viewers. Austria's Hugo Meisl had the idea to organize an international team championship consisting of teams coming from the aforementioned three Central European countries, and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes had also expressed a desire to participate. The Belgrade sports club (BSK) went on to represent the Yugoslav football no less than five times in this prestigious competition, but in this paper, based on sources and literature, we have presented and analyzed the achievements of the club, which are also the biggest achievements of the Yugoslav club football between the two world wars.Fudbal se kao sport izuzetno razvio posle Prvog svetskog rata. Tome je pogotovo doprineo profesionalizam koji je počeo da se primenjuje u Austriji, Čehoslovačkoj i Mađarskoj, koji je uz već razvijene klubove u Italiji i na Ostrvu, počeo da privlači sve više gledalaca. Austrijanac Hugo Meisl došao je na ideju da organizuje međunarodno klupsko prvenstvo u kojoj bi učešće uzele tri pomenute srednjoevropske zemlje, a želju za učešćem izrazila je i Kraljevina SHS. Beogradski sportski klub (BSK) pet puta je predstavljao jugoslovenski fudbal u ovom prestižnom takmičenju, a u radu su, na osnovu izvora i literature prikazani i analizirani dometi ovog kluba, koji su ujedno i najveći dometi jugoslovenskog klupskog fudbala između dva svetska rata
