Yugoslavia year 1995 Soccer – Partisan Sport Society MNH MNH
Yugoslavia issued a postage stamp in 1995 commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Jugoslovensko Sportsko Društvo Partizan (Yugoslav Sports Society Partizan), a major multi-sport club founded in 1945 with strong ties to the Yugoslav People’s Army.
Partizan Background
Partizan, based in Belgrade, encompasses football (FK Partizan) and other sports under JSD Partizan, which has won numerous Yugoslav titles despite challenges from the 1990s wars and sanctions. The 1995 stamp (Michel #2735) honors this legacy, particularly its soccer section’s role in top-tier leagues.
Soccer in 1995 Context
In 1995, amid FR Yugoslavia’s isolation due to UN sanctions, FK Partizan competed domestically but missed the league title that year, securing it in 1995–96. The stamp reflects Partizan’s enduring soccer prominence during turbulent times.
