Name

In 1973, during a football match between FK Osogovo and FK FAS 11 Oktomvri from Skopje, the 23-year-old Nikola Mantov - one of the best players of FK Osogovo at the time - collapsed on the field and died. In his honor, the home-ground of FK Osogovo is named Nikola Mantov Stadium. It is the only football stadium in Macedonia named after a football player.
