The 1969–70 Yugoslav First League season was the 24th season of the First Federal League (), the top level association football league of SFR Yugoslavia, since its establishment in 1946. Eighteen teams contested the competition, with Red Star winning their tenth national title. Events and incidents Week 13: NK Olimpija's November 1969 match-fixing attempt Shortly prior to the Sunday, 16 November 1969 league fixture in Sarajevo between FK Sarajevo and Olimpija Ljubljana, the authorities were made aware—by Sarajevo's goalkeeper —about a bribery attempt by Olimpija's club board member Anton Franetič who had reportedly offered the goalkeeper up to 20,000 Yugoslav new dinars in return for throwing the match. According to Muftić, he first got approached at his Sarajevo apartment in the early morning hours of Thursday, 13 November 1969—three days prior to the upcoming league fixture versus Olimpija—by a male individual, previously unknown to him, who showed up at his door introducing himself as NK Olimpija's board member and asking if they can talk. At that point, the two arranged to meet around noon at Kristal-bar, a kafana in Ilidža on the outskirts of Sarajevo, where the individual—NK Olimpija board member as well as the Ljubljana Credit Bank (Ljubljanska kreditna banka i štedionica) management board member Anton Franetič—would eventually get around to making FK Sarajevo's goalkeeper Muftić a monetary offer in exchange for throwing the upcoming match between the two teams. According to the offer, Muftić was to receive YUD10,000 (new dinars) if the match finishes as a tie and YUD20,000 (new dinars) if NK Olimpija wins with Franetič even musing about the possible contrived behaviour Muftić could opt for during the match—either purposely not attempting to make a save during a shot on goal or intentionally fouling an Olimpija player in the penalty area that would hopefully lead to the referee awarding a penalty shot. Additionally, Franetič handed Muftić an advance of YUD200,000 (old dinars) in cash while stating the rest would be paid out after the match. Immediately after his meeting with Franetič, Muftić informed the FK Sarajevo club president Osman Maglajlić of the match-fixing bribery attempt and handed him the money he took from Franetič. In turn, Maglajlić alerted the authorities who put together a sting operation, instructing Muftić to wear a recording device during his subsequent meetings with Franetič. The two met again that same Thursday during evening hours and talked in Muftić's car. Two days
