SSK Maribor won 2–1.[2] The first official competitive match was played against another German-based team from Maribor, Rapid.[2] Rapid won the first game 5–0, but in the second game, I. SSK Maribor won 2–1.[2] The first international match was played on 1 July 1922 against Grazer AK.[2] The match ended in a 2–2 draw.[2] After finishing as the runners-up on six occasions, they have finally won the Ljubljana Subassociation League for the first time in the 1930–31 season.[2][3] They have won another two titles in the 1932–33 and 1938–39 seasons.[2][3] The club was dissolved at the beginning of the World War II in Yugoslavia.[1][3]
