's right bank, around a factory sugar-house, craft factory of boats. The club was formed on July 4, 1926. From a bar, Majdan, the club was given the name: ČSK "Čukarički sport klub. The club colors have been black and white, it is a tradition which is still present. The first president was Miloš Ilić, the first Serbian aviator. The first players of the club were amateurs, the players organised the pitch, made their own jerseys and nets.

ČSK begin playing in the 3rd level of the Belgrade football league during mid 1920s. After finishing top of their group (Drina) they were promoted in 1928 to the 2nd level (group Sava) and will stay in this level for some time. In the season 1931-32 it acomplished to finish top of the league which was the major archivement until then. In their first season in Belgrade First League B Čukarički finished 5th. In the following season 1932-33 it finished 4th. During the 1933-34 season the league was interrupted due to disagreements among the league system, however in 1934-35 with the league restored, ČSK celebrated its first decade of existance in fashion by winning the Belgrade First League B.

, it was here that all the other best clubs from the capital competed. In 1936-37 Čukarički finished 7th, however in the following season they finished last, 12th. The generational change in the squad is what is considered to be the reason for such a bad season.

After only one year Čukarički Sport Klub was back and in the season 1938-39 it won the Belgrade First League A. However, in that season the club was merged with FK Istra, a move that was not supported by many members of the direction board, and much less among the players.

This made a stagnation in the club and during the following seasons the club didn´t competed in any level until 1942.
