FK Sileks (Macedonian: ФК Силекс) is a football club based in Kratovo, Republic of Macedonia who play in the Macedonian First League.

History

The club was founded in 1965.

Sileks biggest accomplishment in former Yugoslavia came in the 1989–90 Yugoslav Cup where they reached the quarter-finals. It was a remarkable achievement considering they defeated both Sarajevo teams, FK Željezničar and FK Sarajevo in back to back rounds. Since the formation of the First Macedonian Football League, they spent their entire history playing there until they were relegated in 2013. The team had its biggest success in the 90's, winning three league titles (including a record five time runners-up) and two national cups.^[1]
