Hajduk Kula (full official name in Serbian : Фудбалски клуб Хајдук Кула, Fudbalski klub Hajduk Kula ) is the football division of Hajduk Kula , a Serbian sports club from the city of Kula , named after the Heidukes . The club was founded in 1912 under the name KAFK , which later became the Hajduk Kula football club.
The club spent most of the times of Yugoslavia in the lower leagues of the country, except between 1970 and 1973, when they played in the second division, as well as in the 1991/92 season, in which they finally made it through from the third division as runners-up. made it into the first division . Since the rise, Hajduk has always remained first class and is one of only five teams alongside the capital clubs Red Star , Partizan and OFK Belgrade and Vojvodina from Novi Sad , which have participated in all the Yugoslav and Serbian elite classes since 1992 and have never been in the Second-rate are relegated. This is remarkable for a club like Hajduk Kula because it is largely around the league plays and is one of many ways to the smaller clubs in the league. Finally, financial reasons ensured the club's relegation in 2013, which had to withdraw from the country's top division after two decades due to economic inability.
Despite competing for the first division for 22 years, some turbulent years during the Yugoslav wars in the 1990s , the related or subsequent financial difficulties and the threat of bankruptcy in 2010, Hajduk managed to appear on the European stage. Qualifying for the 2006/07 UEFA Cup and reaching the UEFA Intertoto Cup final in the 2007/08 season are among the club's greatest sporting successes.
history
1900–1924: Beginnings as KAFK
The beginning of the 20th century it was Andras Futo and Veljko Jerkov Ljubisa that the very first football in the city of Kula brought, which she previously in Budapest , next to Vienna one of the two main cities of the then Austria-Hungary , for two Austrian crowns had bought. The sport of soccer quickly gained a high degree of attention from the younger population and ultimately also from the city's adults. Most of the games were played with or without a shirt, often with ordinary shoes, but barefoot was not uncommon. The oldest registered football club in Kula was the KAFK ( Kulski atletski fudbalski klub ), which was founded in 1912 by local Danube Swabians and played its first games in 1913. When the First World War broke out shortly afterwards in 1914 , the club had to interrupt its gaming operations, as did all other sports clubs in the region. The players and sports officials were usually on the war front , while the remaining children kept the sport alive in Kula. Years later, it was precisely these children who, in 1917, took the initiative to revive the KAFK with the help of some adults, which was finally carried out in the Hotel Casino , which was located in the city center.
After difficult years of war, a new era of sporting development and thus also of football began in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes from 1918 . In the early 1920s, the KAFK began serious preparations for the upcoming games. A playing field was built and the necessary equipment for training was brought in, which was finally taken over in 1921 by player- coach Ferenc Plattkó , who had moved from Vienna AF to Serbia . The most striking figure was from the beginning of the coach , who is also goalkeeper and captain was the team. Even before his arrival, Plattkó was part of the Hungarian national team , who later became a legendary goalkeeper and coach of FC Barcelona , celebrated successes with the major South American clubs Boca Juniors and Colo-Colo and coached today's Argentinian record champions River Plate . Despite the departure of Plattkó after two years and a generation change, the club was able to celebrate its first success when it won the 2nd league of the regional association of the city of Subotica in the 1923/24 season, whereby the KAFK rose to the 1st league.
1924–1933: Creation of the SK Hajduk
Despite the popularity that football achieved among the citizens of Kula, not everyone could afford to play football due to the expensive equipment at the time. The consequence was that football in the city became more and more a privilege of the wealthy upper class. As a rule, the children of simple farmers or factory workers were unable to play in the KAFK, so a group of young people decided to set up their own football club , which, however, was to remain a department of the KAFK for the time being. The initiative to found the association came from Novak and the brothers Stevan and Rade Pejčić, Uroš Ćirić, Gojko Obradov, Nebojša and Pera Šovljanski and Vojin Palanački. Finally, in 1925 a meeting was held at the Ratar Inn , where the new association was founded. Among the founders on that day were the future players of the club as well as numerous citizens of the city. The most important among them were Sava and Vlada Prekajac, Radoslav and Stanimir Šovljanski, called Baća , Sima Šuvakov, Vladislav Bogojevac and Stevan Ćirić alias Čiča . At the suggestion of Novak and Stevan Pejčić, the new club was named SK Hajduk ( Sportski klub Hajduk ), which was named after the Haidukes . Panta Leđenski, the owner of the inn in which the association was founded, was elected as the first association president.
Hajduk's first game was played in a neighboring village called Ruski Krstur , where the local club SK Rusin was defeated 5-2, which was also a prerequisite for registering as a club and thus becoming part of the 3rd division of the regional Subotica Football Association become. Hajduk made rapid progress and became the most popular and organized club in town, so it quickly developed into an independent club. In less than a year after becoming self-employed, the KAFK was dissolved, with many of its members and players joining Hajduk. In the 3rd division the club played until 1929, because in the same year Hajduk managed to move up to the higher division , of which they were a member until 1933, due to the promotion to the 1st division, the highest league in northern Serbia. This success made Hajduk one of the most famous football clubs in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia ; Nevertheless, the association was faced with financial problems, the overcoming of which could only be achieved thanks to the tireless work of the association members. The players often went to an away game on foot.
1944–1991: From the lower class to the 2nd division
After the Second World War, the restoration of Yugoslavia and the entire reorganization of sporting life began. For a long time, an orderly game was out of the question due to the fact that SK Hajduk had lost practically its entire team under tragic circumstances, as well as numerous club members and supporters. It should take about two years for the game to start. In the first post-war years the club competed mainly with clubs from the area, but over the years they also played against clubs from other regions of the new Yugoslavia . During this period Hajduk had different names under pressure from communist authorities, including Udarnik , Bratstvo-Jedinstvo or just Jedinstvo . The club also changed league membership in the country's football system several times, but never reached the top leagues. In 1949 Hajduk got its pre-war name back and from then on played as the football department of the Hajduk Kula sports club in the associations of the cities of Subotica , Sombor or Novi Sad , where he achieved relatively good results.
In 1949, under the leadership of coach Slobodan Anđelković, the championship of the Sombor Association was finally won, which also qualified for qualification in a higher regional league. The next success celebrated Hajduk in the 1955/56 season, when they won the league of the Subotica and Sombor region, whereby one in the III Zona (Eng. III. Zone) rose and finally belonged to the 75 best clubs in the country. In its debut season , the club reached 5th place. After having missed promotion to the 2nd Yugoslav League a few times, they finally managed to achieve this goal in 1970, where they could hold out for three years. For the next 15 years, Hajduk played in the 3rd division, except from 1983 to 1985 when they played in the lower-class Bačka zone. In the 1988/89 season, the club just missed promotion to the 3rd division, which they finally achieved as champions in the following season. The following season they finished third, which they were second class again after 18 years.
1991–1995: First division membership and relegation battle
In the season 1991/92 Hajduk Kula succeeded for the first time in the club's history, the rise in the newly formed 1st league of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia , from 1992 only of the individual states of Serbia and Montenegro was that arranged previously to create a new state union to form. In addition to the national success, the club management continued to work on the development of the club and increased its efforts in terms of personnel planning and organization within the club, as well as investments in infrastructure . Finally, a new stadium was built, which opened in 1992, but the expansion of the war in Yugoslavia that broke out at the end of 1991 and the subsequent collapse of the country prevented the complete completion or roofing of the new Hajduk stadium. In the same year, the trading company Rodić M&B became the main sponsor of the club, whose name was included in the club's name for over a decade, and the club's coat of arms was modernized.
In May 1992, however, the United Nations imposed sanctions on the country that ultimately led to the economic decline of Yugoslavia and the hyperinflation of the Yugoslav dinar . The overall impact of these events had a very negative impact on all clubs across the region, including Hajduk Kula. Despite the turbulent years in the early 1990s, the club was an important social actor in the region during the turmoil of the war, helping numerous local and regional clubs during these difficult times and saving some from disbanding. To this end, Hajduk got involved in humanitarian aid operations by helping some of the Serbian population who had fled or been expelled from the other republics . In addition, on October 13, 1994 in Banja Luka , today's capital of the Republika Srpska , the club played a friendly against the local football club Borac Banja Luka to show solidarity with the population, who were also accompanied by donations , although the front was not far was away. In the summer of 1995, shortly before the end of the war, Hajduk tragically lost one of her players and the fans one of her favorites. Siniša Peulić, who had previously moved from Borac Banja Luka to Hajduk, joined the Bosnian Serb armed forces and fell in the war. Ultimately, despite the difficult overall situation, the club managed to assert itself against the competition and to maintain its membership in the first division during these years.
1995–2005: Establishment, UEFA Intertoto Cup and club crisis
In the first three seasons of the first division membership, the club mainly played about relegation. But already in the 1996/97 season Hajduk Kula finally managed to establish itself in the top division when they reached 4th place under the direction of Miroslav Vukašinović, which entitled to participate in the 1997 UEFA Intertoto Cup . During the Intertoto Cup , the club played together with Halmstads BK , who was to win the Swedish championship in the same year , as well as with SK Lommel , Turun Palloseura and Kongsvinger IL in Group 8, where they just missed the semifinals in the last game when they lost 2: 3 against SK Lommel. Hajduk played his first European game at home against Halmstadt BK, who lost 1-0, while they celebrated their first win in Turku , Finland , when they defeated Turun Palloseura 2-1 at the Veritas Stadium .
This first success could not be repeated for the time being, so the club had to be satisfied with mediocre placements in the league in the following years, which, however, despite the strong competition, was always able to avoid relegation, which was remarkable for a club like Hajduk Kula, because he was considered the smallest place and club in the league. In order to continue to meet the national requirements, there were further investments in the infrastructure, including the renovation of the training grounds in Vašarište , a place within the city that is now fully owned by the club. During this period the club also got its own branch , FK Lipar M&B , a club from the municipality of Kula, making Hajduk, along with the Serbian top club Partizan Belgrade , the only first division club to have this privilege . In addition, they put in the 1998/99 season with Dejan Osmanović the top scorer of the league, who scored 16 goals during that season. However, after just a few years of peace , the Yugoslav clubs were faced with difficult times again.
Even after the end of the war and in the following years, Hajduk was able to stay in the first division and show good results a few times. In addition, in 2004 the club also provided goalkeeper Nikola Milojević , a player for the Serbian-Montenegrin national team during the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens , with which Milojević was runner-up in the same year during the U-21 European Championship in Germany . In 2005 there were major changes in the club. The club received a new management team, while the company Rodić M&B withdrew as the main sponsor and ultimately only served as a donor . Faced with a situation in which Hajduk's survival was questioned, investments in the infrastructure were extremely rare, since all the attention was now directed only towards the team squad . In order to save further costs , POFK Hajduk , which in the meantime had become the second branch of the association after Lipar M&B , had to merge with Radnički Sombor .
2005 to date: UEFA Cup and first European Cup final
Despite the financial difficulties Hajduk Kula managed completely surprisingly in the 2005/06 season to reach fourth place; Third place was only missed by one point. Since third-placed Voždovac Belgrade withdrew participation in qualifying for the 2006/07 UEFA Cup for financial reasons , the club was allowed to take his place and thus take part in the UEFA Cup for the first time , where they face the Bulgarian record champions in the second round CSKA Sofia met. However, since Hajduku's stadium did not meet the UEFA requirements for a European Cup match, the club had to play its home games at the Red Star Stadium . After a 0-0 win in Sofia , the Bulgarians met in the second leg in the 120th minute of extra time to make the final score 1: 1, whereby Hajduk narrowly eliminated due to the away goals rule . The club finished the 2006/07 season in fifth place and qualified for the 2007/08 UEFA Intertoto Cup .
During this season Hajduk defeated the Serbian club Partizan Belgrade with two goals from Milan Perić and one from Ljubomir Fejsa with 3-0. Especially the Serbian international Fejsa was able to convince the whole season and was one of the best players in the league, so that he left the club for 1.2 million euros for Partizan, who finally signed the Serbian U-21 international Perić a season later . After defeating the Slovenian representative NK Maribor with a total of 5-2 in the Intertoto Cup , they finally reached the final, where they met União Leiria . In the first leg, which they played again in the Red Star Belgrade stadium, they defeated the Portuguese 1-0 with a goal from Perić. In the second leg, Leiria scored the 1-0 lead in the 94th minute of the game, which meant that the game went into extra time , but where Hajduk ultimately had to admit defeat 1: 4 and thus lost his first European Cup final.
After the departure of several top performers, the club was in a relegation battle for the next three seasons, accompanied by financial problems that led to the neglect of the infrastructure and youth work , but was always able to keep the class. In 2011 Hajduk's financial situation worsened dramatically, so that there was even talk of bankruptcy , which, however, could be averted. In the 2011/12 season , the club received a new management team, which was able to stabilize the club by investing in the infrastructure and improving the club organization together with the squad. Ultimately, the league was also achieved in 2012. In the 2012/13 season , Hajduk was able to break away from the relegation places early and in the end reached eighth place, the best placement since 2008.
However, when at the end of July 2013 an old bill for over 2.5 million euros reached the club, Hajduk's continued economic performance in the country's top league could no longer be guaranteed. Finally, the club's management decided to withdraw the A-team voluntarily from the league due to the insolvency.
Stadion
The Hajduk Stadium , also known as Bombonjera (“ Bonbonniere ”), is the club's “pure” football stadium, named after the Heiducken , with a capacity of 5,973 seats . Built in 1992, the architects designed Miodrag Rakočević stadium summed up earlier up to 11,000 spectators, however, was followed by the reconstruction of the stadium in order to by the FIFA or UEFA prescribed safety standards for national and international football matches and the UEFA Stadium Infrastructure Regulations to meet . It was last renovated in 2011. The large Bačka Canal is right next to the stadium .

Coat of arms history
In its history, the association has changed its official coat of arms several times. After the collapse of Yugoslavia and communism in the early 1990s, Hajduk Kula removed the star that was common at the time , which stood as a symbol for the socialist or communist worldview , while the logo was designed in the outline of a tower , which alludes to the coat of arms the city of Kula, whereby the word Kula in Serbian is one of several names for a tower. Amidst the new coat of arms was over the Serbian Cyrillic one by one advertised club name soccer cross Big Cat added that a cheetah standing. The symbol, which is unusual for this region, was added at the suggestion of the former Hajduk- Ultras , the Zulu iz Kulu (Zulu from Kulu - Kulu is a form of Kula that has been modified in favor of the rhyme ), also known as Zulovci , who were active from 1989 to 1998 .
The Zulovci named themselves after the Zulu , the largest ethnic group in South Africa . The Zulu were best known for their former king Shaka Zulu , who was best known for his military skills and well-organized warfare , with which the small but equally well-organized ultra grouping of the club could identify, but their name also rhymed with the city name of the association, which was the more likely reason for the naming. Since the cheetah is the sacred animal of the Zulu, the Zulovci asked about the use of the animal in the club's logo, which was also an allusion to themselves. In honor of the trailer, the club's management finally decided to integrate the cheetah into the coat of arms, which was to remain in place until the end of the 1990s.
