History

While Montenegro was part of socialist Yugoslavia, its top league was the Yugoslav First League. When SFRY dissolved, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was formed in 1992 and the Serbian and Montenegrin teams played in this league, although it was still named Yugoslav First League. In 2003, the FR Yugoslavia was renamed to Serbia and Montenegro and the football league followed suit. The league of Serbia and Montenegro had 16 teams. During this time the First League of Montenegro functioned as one of the state's two second division leagues. In 2006, Montenegro split from Serbia and Montenegro, thus making the First League of Montenegro its top national competition.
