Hrvatski nogometni klub Hajduk Split, commonly referred to as Hajduk Split or simply Hajduk, is a professional Croatian football club founded in 1911, and based in the city of Split. Since 1979, the club's home ground has been the 35,000-seat Stadion Poljud. The team's traditional home colours are white shirts with blue shorts and blue socks. Hajduk is the most popular football club in Croatia, but also in neighbouring countries as well. A lot of support comes from abroad, not only from Croatian natives, but foreign fans as well.
The idea to found a football club was had by group of Split students in a famous tavern known as U Fleků in Prague while studying there and after observing players of Slavia and Sparta Prague. When arriving back home to Split, they started founding the club and Hajduk was born on 13th February 1911. Between the early 1920s and 1940, Hajduk regularly participated in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia national championship. Following World War II and the formation of the Yugoslav league system in 1946, Hajduk went on to spend the entire SFR Yugoslavia period at the top level.
