The GNK Dinamo Zagreb (officially: Građanski nogometni klub Dinamo Zagreb ) is a football club from the Maksimir district of Zagreb and, despite its few members (1,500), is one of the most important clubs in Croatia . In addition to numerous championship titles and cup victories in Croatia and the former Yugoslavia , winning the Messestädte Cup in 1967 is considered the greatest success in the club's history. The home ground was the stadium in Koturaška cesta for years before moving to the Maksimir stadium in 1948 , where Dinamo Zagreb is still based to this day.
As the most important association in the Croatian capital, the coat of arms, name and club structure of Dinamo Zagreb were not infrequently politically charged and were subject to relatively frequent adjustments to social upheavals. In the course of an eventful history, the club or its football department was called 1. HŠK Građanski (1911–1945), FD Dinamo (1945–1950), NK Dinamo (1950–1991), HAŠK-Građanski (1991–1993), NK Croatia (1993–2000), NK Dinamo (2000–2010) and has been officially called GNK Dinamo since 2010 .
history
Dinamo Zagreb is now the legitimate successor to the First Croatian Civil Sports Club ( Croat . Prvi Hrvatski Građanski Športski Klub , short: 1. HŠK Građanski ), which was dissolved shortly after the Second World War . However, this thesis is quite controversial and is in part rejected by its own fans, because according to a different opinion, the turning point of 1945 no longer resulted in a real connection between Dinamo and Graäsanski.
1911 to 1918: The early beginnings as 1st HŠK Građanski
As early as the first decade of the 20th century, a number of football and sports clubs had been founded in Zagreb ( PNIŠK , HAŠK , Concordia , Ilirija and others), but none of them were accessible to the city's broader bourgeoisie. The decisive impetus for founding a sports club especially for the Croatian bourgeoisie was a rumor that circulated in the spring of 1911 that a Magyar -oriented club, freely accessible to the citizens, was about to be founded, but not in the Croatian but in the Hungarian league should play along. To anticipate this, on April 9, 1911, on the initiative of the pioneering footballer Andrija Mutafelija from Zagreb, a public meeting of the municipal sports association was held in the building of the new brewery on Draškovićeva ulica, at which it was decided to found another sports club, which is open to all citizens regardless of their profession should be open. In the following days, the organizers of the meeting conducted word of mouth and explicitly called for people to attend the founding meeting of the Zágrábi magyar torna klub on April 12, 1911 and to disturb it with heckling and rabble . The next day, on April 13th, a mob was rounded up with whose support the premises of the Zágrábi MTK were demolished before the police chased away the crowd with their intervention. The acts of violence did not fail to have their effect, so that the Magyar association ultimately never started operations.
In the company of friends and followers, Andrija Mutafelija finally carried out the founding act of the 1. HŠK Građanski sports club on April 26, 1911 in the café on Preradović Square . Due to the circumstances that led to the founding, the representatives of the established elite sports clubs were extremely benevolent towards the “citizens' association”. For his part, founding president Mutafelija took this as an opportunity to play a mediating role between the two strongest clubs in Zagreb - the arch-rivals HAŠK and Concordia, who were deeply enemies at the time. Representatives of both clubs were invited to the Građanski council. In addition to soccer, handball and cycling were also included in the game. For the home games, three different playing fields in the former municipalities Tuškanac , Kanal and Martinovka acted as venues before the club built its own stadium in Koturaška cesta, which was opened in 1924 by Stjepan Radić . Građanski played his first game on May 21, 1911 against a reserve team of the HAŠK, where you had to accept a 1: 5 defeat against the academics who had gained years of experience. About a month later, on June 25th, after a convincing 6-1 victory against AŠK Croatia Zagreb, the club's first victory was celebrated. In the course of the first Croatian championship, which was held in 1912/13 and organized by the HNS , the club's sporting role was confirmed. Until the end of the season Građanski could only win 2 wins and one draw from 7 games, which was enough for third place in the table, but was far behind the performances of rivals HAŠK and Concordia in points.
The First World War brought club life to an almost complete standstill. Football was only played now and then when enough players could be gathered together for the Red Cross fundraising event . During this time, however, players like Hugo Kinert , Dragutin Vrđuka or Dragutin Vrbanić moved into the limelight, who were to become part of the regular team even in the sportingly successful post-war years. The fact that the club was able to find its way back to normal quickly after the war is thanks not least to Artur Weintraub (a former PNIŠK player), who was then elected as the new president.

If Građanski still wore red and yellow striped jerseys before the First World War , it was probably after this blue at the latest that it had finally established itself as the club color. In terms of sport, the team matured in the post-war period, especially through participation in various friendship tournaments in major European cities . Građanski achieved his first notable international victory in 1921 with a 3-2 away win against SK Rapid Wien . A year later, the team also competed in a small tournament in Barcelona , but they quickly said goodbye after three defeats. In the domestic league, the strengthened club with seasoned professional footballers like Rupec , Vrđuka and Babić managed to leave their city rivals HAŠK and Concordia behind. Građanski was coached at that time by the Englishman Arthur Gaskell, who led the team back to first place in the Zagreb Association League after two lean years in 1923, which also allowed them to participate in the championship of the Kingdom of SHS. While Građanski had to eliminate the Slovenian representative Ilirija Ljubljana 2-1 in the first round of this new knockout tournament , thanks to the bye in the semifinals they moved into the final against the SAŠK from Sarajevo after just one game . This ended 1: 1 which is why a replay had to be scheduled, in which Građanski was finally able to prevail with 4: 2 and thus became the first national champion of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
Following a recent invitation from Spain to play friendly matches in the Basque Country , Asturias , Cantabria and Catalonia , Građanski was able to achieve some prestige successes internationally in 1923 . The tour started with a 3-0 defeat against Athletic Bilbao , but Građanski was able to win his first win on the Iberian Peninsula with a 2-1 win in the game of revenge. Real Unión was defeated with the same result before Građanski moved on to Asturias to win the next 3-2 win against Sporting Gijón , where they also remained undefeated in the revenge game (2-2). After defeats to Racing Santander (2: 5) and FC Barcelona (0: 3), Građanski demanded revenge from the Catalans, who had suffered two defeats the year before (3: 5, 0: 3). In the fourth attempt, they were finally able to defeat FC Barcelona (1-0) and start their journey home to Zagreb with one last sense of achievement.
As the new champion of the Zagreb Association League qualified for the national championship of 1924, Građanski met today's arch-rivals Hajduk Split for the first time in the quarter-finals . After the first 90 minutes it was 3: 3, which is why the game had to go into overtime and finally ended 4: 4. The required replay was a debacle for the Zagreb team and ended 5-0 for Hajduk, whereupon successful coach Gaskell threw in the towel and left the club. His successor was the Austrian Richard Kohn , who despite gaps left by players like Kinert , Šifer and Vrđuka, was able to win the Zagreb Association Championship with the team in 1925. In the final of the national championship, however, Građanski failed 3-2 to SK Jugoslavija from Belgrade, which is why Kohn made his coaching post available again after only one year. With Josef Brandstätter as his successor, an experienced Austrian was again appointed as coach, who also managed to better integrate newcomers such as goal scorer Slavin Cindrić into the team structure. It is thanks to a good mix of seasoned players and hungry newbies such as the up-and-coming goalkeeper Maksimilijan Mihelčić that Građanski also made it to the final of the national championship in 1926, where, as in the previous year, SK Jugoslavija was waiting, but this time they were defeated 2-1.
After winning the state championship, the successful coach Brandstätter returned to his home country. As his successor, the Hungarian Imre Pozsonyi was appointed, who had previously worked in the coaching bench at FC Barcelona. His first year at Građanski was disappointing, because under his leadership the team even missed winning the association championship and consequently had to successfully play a relegation game against Ilirija Ljubljana in order to still be able to participate in the national championship. But this ended disastrously for Građanski with 5: 0, so that the team no longer had the opportunity to defend their title. In his second year at Građanski Pozsonyi managed to breathe new life into the team and to make the club national champions for the third time in its history. The championship success of 1928 was also the last great success of the now aging generation around top performers like Rudolf Hitrec . In addition, the title Građanski enabled participation in the Mitropapokal of 1928 , from which one had to say goodbye quickly after a narrow home win and a clear away defeat against Czech champions Viktoria Žižkov .

Since the club had become heavily in debt with the stadium construction in 1924, Građanski was facing economic failure despite his sporting success at the end of 1928. The risk of having to stop gaming due to insolvency could only be averted in 1931 through the intervention of the later club president Vladimir Weiller, in which he succeeded in negotiating new repayment terms with the creditors; however, coach Pozsonyi and some important players had already left the club by then. After Pozsonyi's departure, it was Irish defender James Donnelly, who had retired from Brentford , who took over as player -coach of a strongly rejuvenated Građanski team. With this he landed in the association championship just behind HAŠK on the 2nd place and prevailed in the relegation against the champions from Slovenia. In the following national championship, however, followed a surprising opening win against the Belgrade rivals of SK Jugoslavija sobering results; by the end of the championship Građanski only got one point and ended up in fifth and last place.
In purely sporting terms, Građanski had reached a low point in 1930: James Donnelly's team had long since given up its pioneering role in the Zagreb Association League to Concordia. She didn't even manage to leave HAŠK behind, to possibly qualify for second place in the championship round. In the following year, however, a change of mode in Yugoslav club football made it difficult to participate in the final round. The association championships were streamlined and should be held fairly quickly within the three spring months, since their purpose now primarily consisted of determining three participants for a top division divided into three seasons according to geographical and sporting aspects , with the winners and the second of each season participated in the championship round in autumn. For Građanski, this change had a positive financial effect, as the team in Zagreb still had the largest support, which, thanks to the increased number of top games against well-known opponents, was much easier to attract as a paying audience into the stadium. However, since the team's style of play has now been extremely defensive under defender Donnelly, many spectators - despite respectable results - were just as quickly chased away from the stands by the Swiss bar of their own team.
Despite a considerable third place in the national championship for the team at the time, Donnelly and Građanski parted ways at the end of the season. His successor was initially the Hungarian György Molnár, who was a striker himself in his active time and therefore played aggressively but unsuccessfully, before he was finally followed in 1933 by the Austrian Robert Haftl. In his first coaching season, the Yugoslav Football Association also tried for the first time to host a year-round league with the eleven strongest clubs in the entire country. Građanski presented himself with very mixed results this season and ended up in the middle of the field. Because of the murder of King Aleksandar Karađorđević , the entire sports season was canceled in 1934 due to the ordered state mourning. In the following season, the championship was held with ten clubs, with Građanski missed the championship title mainly due to his weakness away from home and in the end was once again third.

Immediately after the end of his own playing activity, the then 32-year-old Márton Bukovi took over the coaching position at Građanski in autumn 1935 . The team he found had with Mirko Kokotović and Branko Pleše in midfield and Bernard Hügl in defense over three strong players who were able to both build up and secure the game. However, a more accurate striker was missing at the front, although since the departure of Maksimilijan Mihelčič there was no more secure support in goal. Bukovi was able to solve the goalkeeping problem with the signing of Emil Urch, while the young newcomer August Lešnik turned out to be a real stroke of luck in the storm . Tactically, Bukovi was able to fall back on the World Cup system introduced by his predecessor , but he still had to work on discipline and team unity of his players. In Bukovi's first season, however, the boycott of the national championship also fell, so that one could only meet well-known opponents in friendly matches. The most prominent guest at the time was the team from Liverpool FC , against which they won a much-cited 5-1 win. More important than the gain in prestige, however, was the fact that the club had made contact with an English team for the first time, and in November 1936 was also able to accept an invitation to the home of football. At home at Anfield , Liverpool retaliated 4-1 for the defeat in Zagreb, with Građanski's team also being shown the limits by Doncaster , Wolverhampton and West Ham United ; only against the Hearts from Scotland could a defeat be avoided in the course of the two-week tour.
Back in the domestic league, however, the hardship from the island should soon pay off. Građanski's team stood out in the championship fight primarily because of their disciplined style of play and their physical presence. The highlight of the season was on the third to last matchday the appearance at pursuers BSK : the Belgrade team was literally overrun after just eight minutes with three goals after solo runs by Lešnik. When midfield motor Pleše scored 4-0 in the middle of the second half, the home crowd is said to have risen to applaud the dominant style of play of the newly crowned national champion Građanski. In the following year, the competition had caught up with their football deficits and was able to leave Građanski behind them again, but in the long term, thanks to coach Bukovi, the club had established itself again at the top of Yugoslav club football. Home and away games, regardless of the opponent, were almost always sold out, so that by 1940 aspiring national players such as Cimermančić , Glaser and Wölfl could decide to switch to Građanski. In the Slovenian-Croatian league, the club was at that time without any competition and ended the season after 18 games with a goal difference of 91: 6 goals scored. In the battle for the national championship crown, the two rivals from Sarajevo and Belgrade managed to challenge Građanski's team, but the kingdom's last title, like the first in 1923, went to Zagreb in the club's luggage. After the Croatian Football Association broke away from the Yugoslavian football association based on the Scottish-Welsh principle in 1940 and formed its own national team, an autonomous Croatian championship was held in the 1940/41 season. Plagued by bad luck with injuries, Građanski's team played a season without a defeat, but could not win any of the top games against their direct competitors and ended up in second place behind Hajduk Split . Less than three weeks later, the Yugoslav state was smashed by the Wehrmacht and Zagreb became the capital of a Croatian vassal state under the fascist dictatorship of the Ustaša movement . The terror of the new rule soon felt the effects of Građanski's team, whose Serbian-born team-mate Svetozar Đanić was executed on June 18, 1941 after a show trial . At the sporting level, the organization suffered, so that the major league of 1941/42 was canceled after the first half of the season. Instead, a championship tournament with a group and subsequent knockout phase was held in the summer of 1942 , with Građanski being inferior to city rivals Concordia in the final games. In the following season, the strongest generation in the club's history to date was finally able to call up their best sporting performance and dominate the state championship.

Građanski celebrated one last sporting success worth mentioning in 1944, when they defeated the German cup winner of 1943 Vienna Wien 1-0 away in a friendly match . From then on, however, the sport also fell behind completely in Zagreb's club life. So the championship of 1943/44 was not played to the end; and in the final phase of the war, the clubs served primarily as places of refuge in order to avoid recruiting on the eastern front. At the beginning of 1945 the squad of the team had shrunk to just 18 players, which coach Bukovi was able to keep in shape through weekly friendly matches against other Zagreb clubs. In the last days of the war, the sports committee of the dying puppet state tried to pretend normality and initiated the beginning of a new season in the Zagreb league at the end of April. The first game day was played on April 28, 1945, Građanski received the HŠK Uskok and in his last league game under this name was able to retract a 6-2 victory.
Shortly after the Tito partisans marched in , 10 days later on May 8, 1945, the club premises of the 1st HŠK Građanski were demolished at the instigation of the new communist rulers and the club archive was irretrievably destroyed. The most well-known players were advised to relocate to Belgrade in order to compete for squad places at the army sports club, from which FK Partizan Belgrade was to emerge in the autumn of the same year . Former national goalkeeper Franjo Glaser was probably the first to leave; he should fill the coaching position at Partizan. The up-and-coming Stjepan Bobek as well as Franjo Šoštarić and later Miroslav Brozović would soon follow him. Some time later, the young talents Zvonko Canjuga and Florijan Matekalo were also ordered to Belgrade.
In June 1945 conditions in the city gradually began to normalize and the communist administration gradually returned to normal. A meeting was called for June 9, 1945 in the cinema on Gundulićeva ulica to regulate the resumption of sporting club life. The majority of the more than 200 delegates should have assumed in advance that the 1st HŠK Građanski will be renewed under its old name in the course of the meeting. According to socialist ideas, instead of the previous clubs divided into classes, all sporting activities should be united in a uniform “community for physical exercise ” ( F iskulturno d ruštvo) . In addition, the Central Committee in Belgrade had previously given instructions not to use names with national coloring. At the instigation of the former Zagreb Mayor Herman Mattes, the Zagreb FD was to appear under the name “Dinamo”, whose identifying colors - ostensibly based on the patterns of the Moscow and Kiev clubs - are primarily blue and secondarily white (i.e. the colors of the nominally no longer existing 1. HŠK Građanski ) should be. The proposal was largely approved and Herman Mattes subsequently became President of the Zagreb FD Dinamo.
The football department initially became a real reservoir for the best Zagreb footballers who had not been posted to Belgrade. The excessively inflated squad of almost 50 players was initially looked after in its first post-war season by Márton Bukovi and his former rival from HAŠK, Branko Kunst , in joint work. The thrown together team had to play their first game on June 23, 1945 against a selection of pilots from the People's Liberation Army. This was followed by friendly games with political symbolic character against Red Star Belgrade and against various selections of the formally still renegade condominium Fiume . On August 5, Dinamo was received by arch rivals Hajduk in Split for the first post-war encounter, and the meeting was advertised on the posters as a home game against "Građanski".
2000 to today: National dominance and search for a connection in Europe
Even in the 2000s, Dinamo Zagreb was the dominant team in the league. In the last 13 seasons, they won the championship every year except 2017. During this time, the class difference between the club and main competitor HNK Hajduk Split became bigger and bigger. In the 2011/12 season they moved into the group stage of the Champions League for the first time in 12 years . In Group D , however, the team failed and was eliminated from the competition without winning a point. After the last group game and a 7-1 loss to Olympique Lyon , the highest defeat in European Cup history, coach Krunoslav Jurčić was sacked. In 2012/13 Dinamo managed to re-qualify for the group stage, but were eliminated from six games with just one point and one goal scored. In 2012/2013 they became Croatian champions again, so that Zagreb took part in the Champions League qualification. In the play-off of the premier class 2013/14 they were eliminated after a 2-0 defeat in Zagreb and a 3-2 win at FK Austria Wien and therefore took part in the 2013/14 Europa League , where the team did not have the Group stage came out.

The greatest success in the club's history was winning the trade fair cup in 1967 , where Leeds United were defeated by a 2-0 win in the first leg and a 0-0 in the second leg. In the first round against Spartak Brno you got by drawing lots, as both games ended 2-0 for the respective home team. They also had trouble in the next round against the Scottish representatives Dunfermline Athletic and Dinamo Piteşti from Romania. Then you beat the favorites Juventus Turin , Eintracht Frankfurt and Leeds United .
Fans
Dinamo Zagreb is particularly cheered on by its ultra group Bad Blue Boys (BBB), which was founded in 1986 and makes heavy use of pyrotechnic products. In general, Dinamo Zagreb has a violent and racist fan scene. There are mainly disputes with the Dalmatian ultra group Torcida Split , the supporters of HNK Hajduk Split , but also with the supporters of HNK Rijeka , the Armada Rijeka , the fans of NK Osijek, the Kohorta , as well as those of NK Istra Pula, the Demoni . There are often arguments between the ultra groups. At the time of Yugoslavia there were also clashes with the fans of Red Star , the Delije , the supporters of Partizan , the Grobari , as well as with those of the clubs FK Željezničar Sarajevo , FK Sarajevo , FK Vardar Skopje and other ex-Yugoslav clubs. It has often happened that the BBBs' willingness to use violence damaged the club and the club, especially in international competitions, had to pay fines after confrontations with opposing fans or misconduct.
On November 6, 2012, hooligans from Dinamo Zagreb caused negative headlines ahead of the Champions League game at Paris Saint-Germain . As the Paris police announced, there were serious riots between fans from both camps near Bastille Square. A Dinamo supporter was seriously injured in the rioting and numerous arrests were made. The police said they had arrested 28 people. According to information from the French news agency AFP, a further 80 Dinamo fans were arrested on match day.
On September 25, 2013, UEFA punished the club for two ghost games, one of which was suspended. In the two Champions League qualifiers at FK Austria Wien and against Sheriff Tiraspol , Dinamo fans intoned racist chants and used pyrotechnics . In addition, the club had to pay a fine of 70,250 euros. Similar incidents had already occurred in Zagreb in the past. In the second qualifying round for the Champions League, Dinamo supporters also started singing racist chants at the home game against the Luxembourg club CS Fola Esch . At that time, UEFA had already ordered a partial exclusion of the audience in the home game against Tiraspol. A few days after the last penalty imposed by UEFA, Dinamo fans were arrested in the city center of the Bulgarian capital Sofia , who had traveled to the city for the away game against Ludogorets Razgrad . A total of 45 followers were arrested for hooliganism , disregard of police instructions and for theft.
Stadion
The Maksimir Stadium is the home of Dinamo Zagreb. It had a capacity of approx. 55,000 spectators, after renovation work the capacity was reduced to approx. 38,000 seats, due to the restructuring of the grandstands into seats. The athletics track was completely removed in 2011 and replaced with blue artificial turf. In order to meet the requirements of UEFA, turf heating was also installed.
