Stadion
The home ground has been in the Pecara district since 1953 . The Pecara Stadium there meets the UEFA criteria and was given a new lawn and the southern grandstand for the first time in 1974.
Today's appearance shows a north, east and south grandstand with a total of 5,726 covered seats. The stadium received a floodlight system , scoreboard , modern changing rooms and other accompanying facilities in the late 1990s and at the beginning of the new millennium.
The stadium had its visitor record with around 10,000 spectators when the top Croatian teams Dinamo Zagreb played against Hajduk Split in the final of the 3rd Gojko-Šušak memorial tournament on February 10, 2002.
Training camp
Since October 8, 2010, the club has been running the “Musa-Karačić” training camp in the Mostarsko Blato area , just 7 km east of the Pecara Stadium . The camp is named after the former players Josip Musa (1985–2000) and Ivo Karačić (1988–2007).
The training camp has a large sports complex with changing rooms, offices and other auxiliary facilities. There are three soccer fields, two with natural grass and one with artificial grass . The camp is used for football, handball , basketball and volleyball by all age groups of the club and amateur athletes from Široki Brijeg and the surrounding area.
Fans
According to the population structure of the city, the NK Široki Brijeg is supported by Croatian fans. The club's fan club is the Ultra group Škripari, founded on September 9, 1996.
The name Škripari was chosen in honor of the members of the Croatian Armed Forces of the same name during World War II , who, after the end of the war, offered armed resistance to the communist regime in Yugoslavia as anti-communist guerrillas . These were often hidden in karst caves (regional: škripine ).
Around the time of their formation (from the 1993/94 season with the peak in 1998), the Škripari were among the most organized fan clubs in Herzegovina.
The earlier name idea Broadly Hill Boys originated in 1989, when fans chose this name during a basketball game of the national league of Bosnia-Herzegovina between KK Mladost (now HKK Široki Brijeg ) and KK Borac Čapljina. It was accepted shortly afterwards and until the time of the Bosnian War you could see a blue banner with the words “Broadly Hill Boys” written in white at all matches of the local clubs of Široki Brijeg. The name was an allusion to the ultra grouping Bad Blue Boys of the Croatian football club Dinamo Zagreb in connection with the name of the place Široki Brijeg ("Wide Hill").
Most of the Škripari also support other sports clubs from Široki Brijeg , especially the HKK Široki Brijeg in basketball and the Croatian national football team .
The official song of the Škripari is Igraj, igraj Široki (game, play, Široki). In addition, they recorded the song U mom srcu riječi te (These words in my heart) with the Croatian hip-hop band Beretta . Both songs can be downloaded from the Škripari website (see web links).
On October 4, 2009 there was a so-called "game of the year" against FK Sarajevo in Široki Brijeg to serious fanatic riots. The Ultras group Horde Zla (Horde of Evil) from Sarajevo, which consists mainly of Bosniaks, had its 22nd anniversary on that day and appeared for the game with over 600 people. Including many hooligans and underworld figures, some of whom came to Široki Brijeg by secret routes.
Two weeks earlier, the Škripari had been ambushed in Sarajevo and are now trying to retaliate. But the hooligans from Sarajevo broke a police chain and chased the Škripari to the end of the city center. To do this, they started attacking and destroying pubs and cafes in which Škripari barricaded themselves. Only 20 police officers were available for the expected risk game, who now protect the players' cabin and the local gas station. Various auxiliary police officers who had been appointed before the game belonged to the Škripari or sympathized with them. Those responsible had failed to request additional police forces for the risk game.
24-year-old Vedran Puljić , a member of the Zla Horde, was shot in the head. The local police officer Oliver Knezović, allegedly a former member of the Kažnjenička bojna , was later arrested for this. The city center was devastated and police cars were set on fire. A fight developed between the hooligans from Sarajevo and the local police, vigilante groups and hooligans, in which assault rifles were even used. Only the arrival of special police and military police from all over the republic brought the situation under control. There were over 30 seriously injured fans, 16 seriously injured police officers and one death.
Others
On the occasion of the 60th birthday of NK Široki Brijeg in 2008, the Croatian Post Mostar issued two special stamps , a special postmark and a first day cover for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
