History
FK Jedinstvo is founded at 1922, as a first football team in Bijelo Polje. During the first two decades (1922-1941), the team played mostly exhibition matches, without participation in Montenegrin Football Championship.
First significant success after the World War II, the team made on season 1949-50, with promotion to Montenegrin Republic League.[1] At that time, club played under the name Bratstvo. Soon after that, on season 1955-56, FK Jedinstvo played their first-ever season in Yugoslav Second League, but relegated after three consecutive seasons.
Most of the sixties, FK Jedinstvo spent in Republic League, until the season 1967-68. On that year, the team finished on third place and gained promotion to Yugoslav Second League - South Group. After two seasons, they were relegated, but new promotion to second-tier came on 1971, when FK Jedinstvo won the title of Montenegrin Republic League champion. New season in Second League, FK Jedinstvo finished as a last-placed team in South group. On period 1975-1980, FK Jedinstvo won two titles in Republic League.
Difficult times came at the beginning of eightees. On Republic League season 1980-81, FK Jedinstvo finished on 12th place, so, for the first time in their history, the team was relegated to the lowest-rank of domestic football system (Fourth League - North.[2]). They made comeback on season 1982-83. On that season, FK Jedinstvo played in the Yugoslav Cup. In First Round, they hosted one of most successful teams in the history of Yugoslav football - Dinamo Zagreb in front of 6,000 spectators (0-2). Two years later, FK Jedinstvo was faced with another relegation to Fourth League. At that time, in Bijelo Polje, they were in the shadow of local-rival FK Tekstilac.
On season 1988-89, FK Jedinstvo played in newly-established Yugoslav Inter-Republic League (third division), where they made significant success on season 1990-91. As a second-placed team, the team gained promotion to 1991–92 Yugoslav Second League. On their comeback to second-tier, FK Jedinstvo finished on 14th place.[3]
After the breakup of SFR Yugoslavia, FK Jedinstvo spent the most of nineties in the second-tier competitions of FR Yugoslavia. At the beginning of the new century, team from Bijelo Polje was among the best teams in Second League of Serbia and Montenegro.
Historical success came on season 2004-05. FK Jedinstvo won the champion title in Second League - group Montenegro and gained first-ever promotion to the First League of Serbia and Montenegro.[4]
They started 2005–06 Serbia and Montenegro SuperLiga season with the game against FK Partizan away (0-2), and first-ever elite division game in Bijelo Polje was held on 27 August 2005 (FK Jedinstvo - FK Voždovac 2-2).[5] FK Jedinstvo finished at the bottom of table, but their home games were among the best attended in the First League.
