history

The building of the Hrvoje Cultural Association , the place where the Đački športski klub (later HŠK Zrinjski Mostar) was founded.

Zrinjski players before the First World War

The Hrvatski Športski Klub Zrinjski Mostar (Croatian Sports Club Zrinjski Mostar) was founded in 1905 and is now considered the oldest still existing football club in Bosnia and Herzegovina . In the premises of the Croatian Cultural Association Hrvoje was Đački Sportski klub (high school sports club) established by Croatian young people of Mostar and their school teacher Professor Kuštreb.

In 1912 the sports club was renamed Gimnazijalni nogometni klub Zrinjski ( Zrinjski Gymnasium Football Club). The first two football matches were played against the Osman Middle School Sports Club from Sarajevo . After a 3-0 defeat in the first game, HŠK Zrinjski Mostar won 2-1.

In the beginning the following players of the club were active: the brothers Bruno and Edo Novak, Rudolf Brozović, Marko Sutona, the brothers Željko and Ante Merdžo, Mabid Pehlivanović, Slavko Jukić, Ivan Bošnjak, Karl Šmit, Ivo Ćorić.

The team of HŠK Zrinjski Mostar in 1929.

In addition to the Zrinjski Gymnasium Football Club, there was another Croatian sports club in Mostar, which was founded in 1906 under the name Croatian Sports Club of Young Workers (HROŠK). Jure Zelenik, Nikola Paladžić, Miroslav Prpić, Mirko Vlah, Ante Pavković and Kazimir Zubac moved from this sports club to today's HŠK Zrinjski Mostar. On June 28, 1914, the association was banned until 1917 for political reasons. The club merged in 1917 with the Croatian Sports Club of Young Workers . It was agreed that the name was Hercegovac (German: Herzegovinian ). In 1918 the club was reorganized under the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes , and the Yugoslav Sports Club (JŠK) emerged from the Croatian football club. This attempted to dissolve clubs with a national background. This plan was not followed by the Croatian-born players and the club management. They renewed the association in 1922, while it was given the addition of Zrijnski (= from Zrin ). This was followed by games against the later Velež Mostar , the JŠK who will soon be renamed Vardar . Games were also played in the cities of Čapljina , Sarajevo and Trebinje . Guest appearances in Dalmatia also became the norm. In 1923 Zrinjski Mostar won the city championship. In the final, the club met the JŠK and won 1-0. In the same year two more city championships were held. This time they played against Velež Mostar. The duel ended with a narrow victory for Zrinjski 1-0. This was followed by the final of the first city championship against the JŠK. This game ended with a clear 3-0 win for Zrinjski. Players at this time were: Vjekoslav Vrančić, Kazimir Vlaho, Živo Bebek, Rudi Janjušić, Husein H. Omerović, Milivoj Smoljan, Pero Golić, Mijo Miliečvić, Muhamed Omeragić, August Kučinović, Franjo Stimac and the brothers Ivan and Duka Rebac.

Before the game Zrinjski Mostar against Hajduk Split on August 13, 1939 (final score 2: 3)

Between the two world wars , the association took part in tournaments in Kotor , Tivat , Sarajevo, Zagreb and Dubrovnik . The club was always welcomed, but not by the Yugoslav rulers. In 1936 the club was denied participation in a tournament in Dubrovnik. The team's jersey, on which the Croatian tricolor and the Croatian coat of arms could be seen, was named as the main reason . In 1938 a football tournament was held in Mostar. In addition to the two municipal associations Velež and Zrinjski Mostar, ŠK Sloga and ŠK Makabi from Sarajevo also took part. Zrinjski Mostar emerged as the winner of this tournament. The team of the Zrinjski football club was active with the following players at the time: Ivan Šarac, Aco Nuić, Vice Mijam, Ante Šarac, Joško Čurković, Mirko Boban, Mile Komljenović, Franjo-Raro Novak, Ivan Rebac, Ivan Boban, Zdenko Sunjić, Muahmed Delberović, Duje Vlak, Bera Komljenović, Petar Barbarić, Martin Rotim. Miško Mikulić was the club's president at that time.

Slavko Džeba, Ilko Pavlović, Jozo Marić, Edo Veber, Muhamed Muratagić, Zdravko Konjevod, Ante Rotim, Frano Zovko, Stjepan Tartarević, Jerko Fertili, Zdravko Smoljan, Emil Miličević, Remza Daranović and Rebacja Klajo, Grga Mirkja Ivan Lasić, Vinko Zovko, Mladen Soldo, Edo Tavčar, Vjeko Bošković, Alija Šestić, Meho Jukić and Leo Hrvić moved to HŠK Zrinjski Mostar in the following years.

Until then, the presidents were: Miško Mikulić, Drago Turkelj, Jakša Miljković and Blaška Slišković. The club secretary was Ljubo Tokić. The coaches until then were: Zlatko Stegnar and Franjo-Rare Novak (also a former player of the club). When the Croatian Football League of the " Independent State of Croatia " was founded on July 17, 1941 and officially accepted as a member by FIFA , the clubs of SAŠK Sarajevo and Hrvoje Banja Luka took part in the Croatian championship games alongside the then HŠK Zrinjski Mostar . In 1945, in the newly founded state of Yugoslavia, all cultural and sports associations with national symbols were prohibited from doing any work. It was not until 1992, 47 years later, that the football club was solemnly renewed in Medjugorje . With the renewal of the club, many friendlies and tournaments followed - which equated to a good promotion. The Croatian population in Bosnia and Herzegovina , Croatia and abroad was particularly pleased about the frequent participation in tournaments by HŠK Zrinjski Mostar. The club even took part in sporting events in Canada . The club's younger divisions took part in tournaments in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany , Italy , France and Norway .

In the so-called Liga NS Herceg-Bosna, the club was champion seven times. The club made a significant contribution to the organization of the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as the first season in 1994. It was also the first championship round after the war. In the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the football club was scheduled in the group with the Bosnian-Herzegovinian clubs from Željezničar from Sarajevo, Bosna from Visoko . In the second group, the Bosnian-Herzegovinian clubs NK Široki Brijeg , FK Sarajevo and Čelik took part. At the same time, this was the beginning of today's First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Fans

There is a rivalry between the fans of HŠK Zrinjski Mostar, who are mostly Croatians , and those of the Bosniak- dominated FK Velež Mostar . The meeting of these two teams is also known as the Mostarski derbi . In the past there have been riots between fans of Bosniak and Croatian origin in Mostar . This was partly carried over to the national teams. There were riots at the European Football Championship in 2008 , when Croatia played against Turkey.
