1973 Yugoslav Cup

The 1973 Yugoslav Cup was the 26th season of the top football knockout competition in SFR Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav Cup (Serbo-Croatian: Kup Jugoslavije), also known as the "Marshal Tito Cup" (Kup Maršala Tita), since its establishment in 1946.

The Yugoslav Cup was a tournament for which clubs from all tiers of the football pyramid were eligible to enter. In addition, amateur teams put together by individual Yugoslav People's Army garrisons and various factories and industrial plants were also encouraged to enter, which meant that each cup edition could have several thousands of teams in its preliminary stages. These teams would play through a number of qualifying rounds before reaching the first round proper, in which they would be paired with top-flight teams.

Unlike most cup finals played since the late 1950s which had been traditionally scheduled to coincide with the end of the football league season and Youth Day celebrated on 25 May (a national holiday in Yugoslavia which also doubled as the official commemoration of Josip Broz Tito's birthday), the 1973 and 1974 cups were played over only four months, with finals played in November in capital Belgrade, to coincide with Republic Day on 29 November.

Dado que la final siempre debía disputarse en torno a una fecha festiva nacional en el Estadio JNA de Belgrado, y para evitar una ventaja injusta a los clubes de la capital, la Federación Yugoslava de Fútbol adoptó a finales de la década de 1960 la norma que permitía jugar la final a partido único (cuando ambos finalistas no fueran de Belgrado) o a doble partido (cuando al menos uno de ellos tuviera su sede en la capital), disputándose siempre el partido de vuelta en Belgrado. Esta norma se aplicó a las ocho finales de copa en las que participaron clubes de Belgrado entre 1970 y 1985.
