Who was Kuzman Sotirović?

Kuzman Sotirović was a Serbian and Yugoslav football forward.

A player of short stature and medium build, Sotirović usually played as an attacking midfielder where he used his good technical abilities to keep the ball and create scoring chances up front. He first started playing in youth sections at BSK Belgrade, and, after becoming a standard first-team member, won the best championship scorer in 1928, scoring 6 goals in 5 appearances. The very next season he went to France and played for FC Sète and Montpellier SC.

Between 1928 and 1931 Sotirović also played for Yugoslavia national football team. He debuted on 6 May 1928 against Romania and his last game for the national team was on 4 October 1931 against Bulgaria at the Balkan Cup. He is considered to be the first player born in modern-day territory of Republic of Macedonia to play in the Yugoslav national team.

After retirement from football he continued to live in Paris until his death in 1990. He was buried at Novo groblje cemetery in Belgrade.
