History

Before independence

As part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Montenegrin clubs played in the Montenegrin Football Championship which was formed in 1922.^[1]^[2]^[3] Despite the presence of the nationwide Yugoslav Football Championship, Montenegrin teams did not partake in it.

After World War II and the formation of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the top league became the Yugoslav First League. Montenegrin teams were allowed to partake in the nationwide league structure, with a regional Montenegrin league acting as a lower-tier division with promotion and relegation between the Yugoslav league system. The most prominent clubs from Montenegro in this period were FK Budućnost and FK Sutjeska.

When SFR Yugloslavia 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, FR Yugoslavia became Serbia and Montenegro and the football league followed suit. Montenegrin clubs played in the First League with Serbian clubs from 1992 to 2006. In that period, representatives of Montenegro in the Yugoslav/Serbia and Montenegro First League were FK Budućnost, FK Sutjeska, FK Rudar, FK Mogren, FK Zeta, FK Kom and FK Jedinstvo.

For 2004–05, restructuring of the Serbo-Montenegrin football league system saw the dissolution of the national second league, instead being replaced by two regional divisions for both republics of the union with promotion to the still-united First League.

After independence

In 2006, after the Independence referendum, Montenegro split from Serbia. Following that, Montenegrin First League is founded as top-tier national competition. On inaugural season, members of League became three teams from former First League of Serbia and Montenegro, seven from Second League, and two from Third League.

In period 2006-2017, league consisted on 12 clubs, which played 33 matches during the season. From 2017-18 season number of participants in the Montenegrin First League is reduced to 10, with 36 week-long competition.

By now, 19 different clubs participated in the Montenegrin First League. Most successful were FK Budućnost and FK Sutjeska with three national titles. Two titles won FK Rudar and FK Mogren. Another winners were FK Zeta and OFK Titograd with one title.

2006–16

The first champion of the top-tier CFL was Zeta, which won the trophy on championship's last weekend, after the hard struggle with neighbouring Budućnost.^[4] Third derby between Budućnost and Zeta in Podgorica watched 10,000 spectators, which is record-high attendance in the history of CFL. During the season, many games were followed by crowd disturbances ^[5] and match Zeta - Budućnost in Golubovci hasn’t played, after the decision of home team not to open their stadium, after the collision with Football Association of Montenegro.^[6]
Next season, Budućnost won the title, with the same number of points as Zeta and Mogren. But, Budućnost had the best score against two opponents from the top of the table. That was the first trophy for the team from Podgorica.^[7] Their manager at that time Branko Babić became the first foreign coach to win the Prva CFL title. With average attendance 4,250 on their home games, Budućnost made Montenegrin First League all-time record.

Title holder on season 2008–09 became Mogren^[8], the first-ever club from the coastal Montenegro to win the title. Race for champions' trophy lasted until final week, when Mogren won an away game against Jedinstvo (2-1). At the end of season, they had four points more than second-placed Budućnost and 11 more than third team - Sutjeska.
A year later first championship title in the club history won Rudar^[9]. They won the trophy after dramatic struggle with Budućnost, and only two points decided championship race. During that year, Ivan Bošković from Grbalj scored 28 goals, which is the all-time record for one single season. During the last week of season, hist team made another record, with the highest victory ever in Montenegrin First League, against Kom (11-0)^[10]. On that game, Bošković scored four goals - which is another Prva CFL record, shared with OFK Titograd’s player Zoran Petrović, who did the same seven years later.

Mogren became first club which won the second champion trophy in Prva CFL. Team from Budva won the title on season 2010-11, but with equal number of points as second-placed Budućnost (73)^[11]. At the end, head-to-head score decided, and Mogren was successful than Budućnost (2-1; 2-0; 1-2).

Budućnost won their second trophy on season 2011-12^[12], with few records as a highest number of points in CFL by single season (80) and highest number of scored goals by season (83). But, team from Podgorica didn’t won the trophy easy - they were followed by Rudar, who had three points less at the end of season. Except that, Budućnost didn’t won any game against Rudar during the season (0-2; 2-2; 1-1)
Sutjeska became the first club which won two consecutive titles of CFL champion. Both times, they did it with Dragan Radojičić as head coach. Team from Nikšić won seasons 2012-13 and 2013-14. Sutjeska headed to their first title with five points more than Budućnost, but secured the trophy on last week of championship.^[13] On that season, Sutjeska for the first time in the First League played city derbies against Čelik (1-0; 0-3; 0-1), who surprisingly won the third place at the end of competition. Second trophy, Sutjeska won after the dramatic spring half-season and struggle with Lovćen. Title winner was decided week before the end of season, after the draw on game Sutjeska - Lovćen (1-1)^[14]. That was the very first season on which Budućnost didn't end on first or second position.

At the end of season 2014-15, second title in the club's history won Rudar.^[15] Team from Pljevlja won the race against trophy defender - Sutjeska, which finished on second position. Team from the bottom of the table - Berane at the end of season had only 13 points with 78 goals conceeded, which are all-time negative records in Prva CFL. After the relegation playoffs, Mogren relegated to Second League. It was the first time in history of Prva CFL that one former champion went to lower-rank competition.
Tenth edition of Prva CFL finished with big surprise, as OFK Titograd from Podgorica won their first-ever national title.^[16] At that era, OFK Titograd played under the name Mladost Podgorica. They won the champions' race against city rivals from Budućnost and during the season, OFK Titograd won all three games against them (3-1; 1-0; 2-0). After the last week, OFK Titograd had four points more than second-placed team.

In the period from 2006 to 2016, FK Budućnost, FK Sutjeska, FK Rudar and FK Mogren won two champion titles, and FK Zeta and FK Mladost one. Team which won most points in 2006-2016 period was FK Budućnost (674 pts). At same period, in CFL seasons played 19 different clubs.

2016–present

Budućnost won their third champions' title on season 2016-17, but with equal number of points as Zeta and OFK Titograd. During the season, six points were deducted from FK Zeta because of irregularities^[17], so they weren't able to win the trophy. Week before the end of season, on Budućnost - OFK Titograd match, ultras of home team burned a part of north stand at Podgorica City Stadium, and the game was interrupted and registered with result 0-3.^[18] But, that epilog did not have influence on final placement, as Budućnost finished on the top of the table, with better head-to-head score against OFK Titograd and Zeta.
Next season, FK Sutjeska won their third title^[19]. Team from Nikšić dominated from the very beginning of championship and secured the trophy after 30 weeks. Except that, Sutjeska made a new league record with 11 games without conceded goal. They finished season with 22 points more than second-placed Budućnost.

Season 2018-19 started with the poorest performances of Montenegrin clubs in European competitions since independence. Four teams played 10 games in Champions league and Europa League qualifiers, but without any single win.

Rivalries

Budućnost supporters at Montenegrin Derby game

Main rivalry in the Montenegrin First League is between Budućnost and Sutjeska, often called as Montenegrin Derby. First edition of derby in official competitions was played at 1932,^[20] and until today two clubs played derbies in the highest-tier competitions of SFR Yugoslavia, FR Yugoslavia and, at the new era, in Montenegrin First League.

Other traditional rivalry is between FK Budućnost and FK Lovćen Cetinje, because two clubs are playing important games since the 1920s. That rivalry is further fuelled by the fact that Budućnost is the major club from the capital Podgorica, while Lovćen is the main club from the former royal capital, Cetinje.

During the first two seasons of Montenegrin First League, there was a strong rivalry between Budućnost and Zeta. Two clubs from the territory of the Capital Podgorica were main candidates for title at 2006-07 and 2007–08, and their match from the spring 2007 attended more than 10,000 spectators at Podgorica City Stadium. That is the highest attendance in the history of Montenegrin First League.

At seasons 2012-13 and 2013–14, there was a big local derby in Nikšić, between Sutjeska and Čelik. At that time, their matches were often attended by more than 7,000 supporters.

In the new period, there was a strong title races between Rudar and Budućnost or Sutjeska and Rudar.
