The 1981–82 Yugoslav Cup was the 34th 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 1980–81 winners Velež failed to retain the trophy as they were knocked out in the first round by minnows Mogren. Dinamo Zagreb and the Belgrade-based Red Star, who finished as winners and runners-up in the 1981–82 Yugoslav First League, reached the tournament final. In the two-legged final Red Star won their 10th cup title after beating Dinamo 6–4 on aggregate. This was their first cup win since the 1970–71 edition.

Surprise of the tournament were second level side Galenika, who managed to reach the semi-finals, knocking out the remaining two of the Yugoslav "Big Four" clubs Partizan and Hajduk Split in the process. Fuelled by their prolific goalscorer Slobodan Santrač, Galenika also had a successful league season as they won the 1981–82 Second League Division East and won promotion to the 1982–83 Yugoslav First League.

Calendar

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 had thousands of teams in its initial stages. These teams would go through a number of qualifying rounds before reaching the first round proper, in which top-flight teams would enter.

The cup final was scheduled to coincide with Youth Day, a national holiday celebrated on 25 May and accompanied by the Relay of Youth, which doubled as the official commemoration of Josip Broz Tito's birthday. Note that since the 1970 final the rule to play two-legged finals in case one of the finalists came from Belgrade was in effect (with the second leg always played in Belgrade). This rule would remain in place until the 1988 final.

First round

First round proper was played on 7 October 1981. Ties were decided over a single leg, with penalty shootouts used to determine winners when matches ended in a draw after regular time. Sixteen out of eighteen 1981–82 Yugoslav First League clubs entered the competition at this stage (everyone except Osijek and Teteks, who were only promoted to top level at the end of the 1980–81 season).

Each of the sixteen top level clubs were paired with a lower-tier team who made it to this stage through preliminary qualifiers. In addition, Croatia Zurich, a Zurich-based club ran by Croatian emigrants in Switzerland, also received a spot, but exited the tournament following a 5–0 defeat to Budućnost.

Seven top level clubs were knocked out at this stage: OFK Belgrade, Partizan, Radnički Niš, Vardar, Zagreb and the defending cup winners Velež, who lost their tie to Montenegrin minnows Mogren on penalties.

Summary

Dinamo Zagreb and Red Star, two of the so-called Yugoslav "Big Four" clubs, had reached the 1982 final. The two clubs also dominated in the Yugoslav First League that season, with Dinamo crowned champions only two weeks before the first leg of the cup final, and Red Star finishing the season as runners-up. Red Star eventually won the final tie 6–4 on aggregate.

For Red Star this was their 15th appearance in the Yugoslav Cup final and their first cup title since 1971. It was won by a squad featuring major club stars such as Vladimir Petrović, Dušan Savić, Miloš Šestić and Milko Đurovski, led by experienced coach Branko Stanković.

For Dinamo Zagreb this was their 11th appearance in the final and a chance to win their 7th cup title. The team, led by Miroslav Blažević, eventually failed to clinch what would have been their first Yugoslav Double, as they had won the 1981–82 Yugoslav First League with five points in front of Red Star. Dinamo's squad that season featured club legends such as Snješko Cerin, Velimir Zajec, Zlatko Kranjčar, Marko Mlinarić and Stjepan Deverić.

Dinamo and Red Star had previously met in the cup final on three occasions, in 1950, 1964 and 1980. Red Star had won the first two finals while Dinamo picked up the 1980 cup. Before the competition would cease to exist amid the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s the two clubs would also met for the fifth time in the 1984–85 Yugoslav Cup final.

Match details

In the first leg, played on 16 May 1982 in front of 50,000 people at Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb, Red Star took an early lead through a goal by Miloš Šestić in the 15th minute. After the half-time break Dinamo equalized through Džemal Mustedanagić in the 49th minute and then went on to take the lead through Snješko Cerin ten minutes later. Six minutes before the final whistle Dinamo's defender Zvjezdan Cvetković tackled Zlatko Krmpotić inside Dinamo's box, and a penalty was awarded to Red Star, which Vladimir Petrović successfully converted to make the final score 2–2.

In the second leg played on 23 May 1982 in Belgrade Red Star coach Branko Stanković named Dušan Savić in the starting eleven. Savić, who had spent the first leg in Zagreb on the substitute bench, used runs down the right side to create several goalscoring opportunities for Rajko Janjanin and Vladimir Petrović very early on, but Dinamo's goalkeeper Tomislav Ivković was on form and saved a couple of close-range efforts. In the 31st minute Savić latched onto a long pass by Milan Janković to make it 1–0. Four minutes before half-time Dinamo pulled back through Zlatko Kranjčar's free kick, and minutes later Marko Mlinarić embarked on a solo run from the centre of the pitch to set up Snješko Cerin for an easy tap-in which made it 2–1 for the Blues. Red Star's Ranko Đorđić equalized through a powerful shot from the edge of the box in the 66th minute, and seven minutes later Miloš Šestić scored a goal after a long pass by Vladimir Petrović which tipped the result in Red Star's favour to make the aggregate score 5–4. Savić added his second goal three minutes before full time, which set the final score 4–2 on the day and 6–4 on aggregate.
