About FK Sileks

FK Sileks is a professional football club based in Kratovo, North Macedonia, founded in 1965. The club takes its name from the local mining company and originally developed as a regional team during the Yugoslav era. After the formation of an independent Macedonian football system in the early 1990s, Sileks became one of the founding members of the national top division and quickly established itself as a competitive side.

The club’s most successful period came in the mid-1990s when it dominated Macedonian football. Sileks won three consecutive national league titles from 1995 to 1998 and also secured several domestic cup victories during that era. These achievements made them one of the strongest teams in the country at the time and allowed them to participate in European competitions, gaining international experience against stronger continental clubs.

In later years, FK Sileks experienced fluctuations in performance, including relegation and rebuilding phases, but managed to return to the top flight. The club remains a respected presence in Macedonian football, known for its resilience, historical success, and ability to compete despite limited resources compared to larger teams. It continues to represent the small town of Kratovo in the national league and occasionally produces competitive squads capable of challenging for domestic honours.
