History
The history
Beginning of 1911, there were disagreements between several players of the Serbian football clubs Srpski mac and the club president Radivoje Novakovic, who disagreed with the host a friendly match against the Hask. The association founded in 1906 from Zagreb, who at the time over the Hungarian Football Federation and already participated in national competitions, it had been forbidden by the Association to stage international matches. Reason was a law from 1907, after at all stations in the former Croatia and Slavonia, which belonged to Austria - Hungary, should be spoken exclusively Hungarian, which the Croatian and the Serbian population resisted.
The Czech Miloš Ekert, who was previously changed from Hask to Srpski mac, kept in touch with his former teammates and saw it as an opportunity to stage a match between the two teams. The players of Srpski Mac agreed to this; In contrast to the club president, who issued a rejection of this proposal. He saw in it no sense, because he believed that his association was much weaker than the Hask, who was already an established football club based in fact. So the club's management decided that all the players who went to Zagreb nevertheless, they should be excluded from the club due to undisciplined behavior. Aware of this, drove many players, accompanied by some players of another Serbian club called SK Soko, who presented themselves to collectively as national team of the Kingdom of Serbia, to the encounter to Zagreb.
Once there, they graduated from the meeting on 19 May 1911 which was finally lost with 0:8. The next day we played again, but lost the second game, this time with 0:6.
