The existed in the
Kingdom Of Yugoslavia and in the
Socialist Federal Republic Of Yugoslavia . (''For the team under the
Federal Republic Of Yugoslavia see
Serbia And Montenegro National Football Team .'')
The first one was in the kingdom that existed between the two world wars. The Football Federation of then Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was founded in
Zagreb in
1919 (and admitted into
FIFA ), and the national team played its first international game in
Antwerp in
1920 . In
1929 , the country was renamed to Yugoslavia and the football association became ''Fudbalski Savez Jugoslavije'' and moved its headquarters to
Belgrade . The national team participated in the
Football World Cup 1930 and shared the third/fourth place with the
U.S. Team .
The federation and football overall was disrupted by
World War II . After the war, a socialist federation was formed and the football federation reconstituted. It was one of the founding members of the
UEFA and it organized the
1976 European Championship played in
Belgrade and
Zagreb . The national team participated in eight
World Cup s, four
Euro s, and even won
Olympic Games football tournament in
1960 (they also finished second three times and third once).
Dragan Džajić holds the record for the most national team caps at 85, between 1964 to 1979. The best scorer is
Stjepan Bobek with 38 goals, between 1946 and 1956.
The
Under-21 Team won
The Inaugural UEFA U-21 Championship in
1978 .
The Yugoslav under-20 team won the
Youth World Cup in
Chile in
1987 . The same generation probably would have been even more successful had it not been for the
Yugoslav Wars . The Yugoslav team split up and the remaining team of the FRY was even disallowed from competing at
Euro 92 .
The national team of
Serbia And Montenegro continued under the name Yugoslavia until that country was renamed in
2003 .
