The club won first place in the 2012–13 season and after was a failed to promote to the 2nd League, the club was a merged with FK Korzo and a placed in the 2nd League for the 2013–14 season (in fall season was played as Korzo). However, despite club officials and fans claims that the Shkupi is the Sloga Jugomagnat's successor, neither the Football Federation of Macedonia nor UEFA recognize Sloga Jugomagnat's titles and statistics before 2009 as being part of the 2012 founded Shkupi's track record.

Despite club officials and fans claims that the new Pobeda Junior is the Pobeda's successor, neither the Football Federation of Macedonia nor UEFA recognize Pobeda's titles and statistics before 2010 as being part of the 2010 founded Pobeda Junior's track record.
C. ^ The original Bashkimi, which was traced its roots back to 1947 went bankrupt and folded in 2008. In 2011, a successor club called KF Bashkimi 1947 was founded which started competing in the 3rd league. Despite club officials and fans claims that the new Bashkimi is the defunct club's successor, neither the Football Federation of Macedonia nor UEFA recognize Bashkimi's titles and statistics before 2008 as being part of the 2011-founded Bashkimi's track record.
