1923 Yugoslav Football Championship
The 1923 Yugoslav Football Championship, officially called State Championship, was the first season of national association football competition in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which later came to be known as Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
At this point there was no league championship in the modern sense, as the competition was held in a single-legged cup format, with participating clubs qualifying via regional playoffs entered by winners of six regional football sub-federations. Only the final was played over two legs.
The champions were 1. HŠK Građanski from Zagreb, who beat SAŠK from Sarajevo 5–3 in the final tie.
