KF Arsimi 1973 (Macedonian: ФК Арсими, romanizedFK Arsimi 1973) is a football club based in the village of Čegrane near Gostivar, North Macedonia. They are currently competing in the Macedonian First League.

History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1973.[1]

The club was formed by a group of teachers of that time, with the aim of having a football club in the region where they lived.

The club initially competed in the municipal football league of Macedonia, while later it was included in the third league of the country, a league in which it stayed until the 2021/22 season.

KF Arsimi 1973 had its biggest successes in the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons.

In the 2020/21 season, it was declared the runner-up of the Macedonian Third League West, while later in the 2021/22 season it was declared the absolute champion of the Third West League, and won the tie against FK Ovče Pole to be included for the first time in the history of the 50 year of the club in the Macedonian Second League.

At the end of the 2024/05 season, Arsimi Çegran won promotion to compete on highest level of Macedonian football for the first time in its history. As Arsimi's stadium in Čegrane is too small, they've played their home games in Gostivar since their promotion.
