The Football Association of Serbia and Montenegro (Serbian: Fudbalski savez Srbije i Crne Gore, FS SCG / Фудбалски савез Србије и Црне Горе, ФС СЦГ) was the governing body of football in Serbia and Montenegro, based in Belgrade. It organized the First League, the national team, the domestic cup as well as the Second Leagues of both republics.

FSSCG replaced the Football Association of Yugoslavia, which was founded in 1919. It was run exactly the same way but the name changed. In 2006, Montenegro opted to declare independence thus breaking the union with Serbia. Both countries formed new football associations accordingly:

Serbia inherited the former Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro spot in UEFA and FIFA[1][2][3] while Montenegro became the newest member to join the two organizations.
