Građanski nogometni klub Dinamo Zagreb ( english : Dinamo Zagreb Citizens’ Football Club ), [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] normally referred to as GNK Dinamo Zagreb or merely Dinamo Zagreb ( marked [ dǐnamo zâːɡreb ] ), [ 6 ] [ 7 ] is a croatian professional football club based in Zagreb. The club is the successor of 1. HŠK Građanski, which had been founded in 1911, disbanded in 1945 and replaced by the newly founded Dinamo Zagreb. They play their home matches at Stadion Maksimir.

The club has spent its integral being in top flight, having been members of the Yugoslav First League from 1946 to 1991, and then the Prva HNL since its initiation in 1993.

At the end of the World War II, the newly communist government of Yugoslavia considered croatian clubs like HŠK Građanski as fascist and nationalist, because they had operated under the former Independent State of Croatia, which was an axis member during the war. As such, they were formally disbanded and, in 1945, FD Dinamo was founded as a club to act as an unofficial successor to HŠK Građanski, getting around the ruling party ‘s disapproval. They entered the Yugoslav First League in its inaugural 1946–47 temper, finishing as runner-up. In their second season in Yugoslav top flight in 1947–48 they finished as Yugoslav champions, which was their first base major trophy.

They won five league titles and participated in the 1998–99 and 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League group stages carrying that identify, before reverting to the more wide recognized “ Dinamo Zagreb ” on 14 February 2000. Although the subject of the club ‘s name was dropped for a while, in 2011, baseball club management increasingly began claiming again that Dinamo is the direct descendant of Građanski ( which had in the first place been founded in 1911 and disbanded in 1945 ) and in April that year decided to prepend the adjective “ Građanski “ to the cabaret ‘s official name, turning it into the contemporary GNK Dinamo ( Građanski nogometni klub Dinamo or Dinamo Citizens ‘ Football Club ).

history [edit ]

basis of Građanski ( 1911–45 ) [edit ]

In 1911, when Croatia was hush separate of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Građanski was founded in Zagreb by Andrija Mutafelija and a few of his friends in reception to rumors that a football club that was meant to play in the hungarian football league ( as opposed to the croatian Sports Union ) was about to be established. Građanski was consequently founded as a multi-sports baseball club with a distinctly croatian identity intended to cater to citizens of Zagreb, with sections dedicated to football, handball and bicycle. At foremost they used grounds in Zagreb ‘s neighbourhoods of Tuškanac, Martinovka, Kanal and Maksimir, until they built their own stadium at Koturaška street, which was officially opened in 1924 by Stjepan Radić, a big croatian politician. internationally, the club went on several successful tours – on one of these, in 1923 in Spain, Građanski beat Barcelona [ 8 ] and Athletic Bilbao. The club much toured to Austria and Hungary and played friendly matches with circus tent local sides. In 1936, they went on enlistment to England where they adopted the WM formation which helped them win the 1936–1937 Yugoslav backing. Márton Bukovi, who started using the constitution as Građanski coach in 1936, introduced it to Hungary in the belated 1940s and late modified it into the now celebrated WW system which brought the Hungary national team to the final game of the 1954 World Cup. The cabaret competed in the Mitropa Cup, the first european international cabaret competition, on three occasions – in 1928, 1937 and 1940.

Both legs ended without goals, so a playoff bet on in Subotica was held, which ended 1–1. [ 11 ] Rapid progressed to the final on a mint flip, but the final game ( against Ferencváros ) was never played because of the outbreak of World War II. Having been invaded and occupied by the Nazi Germany in 1941, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was dissolved and sports competitions in the state were suspended. An exception to this was the Independent State of Croatia ( NDH ) which, as an Axis member, enjoyed peace and so the NDH continued to hold national competitions featuring big croatian clubs. Four of these seasons were started ( 1941, 1941–42, 1942–43 and 1943–44 ) but only the second and third base editions were finished, with Građanski winning the 1942–43 temper.

[ 57 ] The referendum was never held and both projects were ultimately abandoned in 2012. [ 58 ] Nevertheless, some crucial work was done between 2011 and 2013, when the club replaced all of the seats from the four existing stands, installed the under-soil inflame, ameliorated the department of the interior of the stadium, [ 59 ] and made some aesthetic adjustments, among others, to the color of the stands and of the tartan chase surrounding the lurch.
