Here's an overview of the club's history: Early Years FK Sileks was founded in 1965, during the Yugoslav period, and initially competed in the regional leagues.

The club was named after the nearby Sileks lead and zinc mine, which played a significant role in the local economy and provided financial backing for the team.

Rise to promience The club's first major breakthrough came in the early 1990s, after North Macedonia declared its independence from Yugoslavia.

Under the guidance of Ljubislav Ivanov "Singo," a key figure in the club's history, Sileks quickly rose to prominence.

The club also enjoyed considerable success in the Macedonian Football Cup, winning the competition three times—in 1994, 1997, and 2021.

While the club has yet to achieve significant success in Europe, its participation in these competitions has brought international exposure to the team and the town of Kratovo.

In recent years, the club has once again become a regular participant in the top flight of Macedonian football.

Recent Achievements In 2020-2021, FK Sileks enjoyed a resurgence, winning the Macedonian Football Cup for the first time in nearly two decades.

Despite the challenges it has faced, the club remains a symbol of pride for the people of Kratovo and continues to aspire for greatness on the domestic and international stage.

These rivalries often involve a mix of historical competition, regional pride, and the quest for dominance in Macedonian football.
