HNK Hajduk Split, commonly referred to as Hajduk Split (Croatian pronunciation: [xǎjduːk splît]) or simply Hajduk, is a professional Croatian football club founded in 1911, and based in the city of Split. The club's home ground, since 1979, is the 35,000-seat Poljud Stadium, and the team's traditional home colors are white shirts with blue shorts and socks.
Hajduk was founded by a group of Split students in a famous tavern known as U Fleků in Prague. Between the early 1920s and 1940, Hajduk regularly participated in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia national championship. Following World War II and the formation of the Yugoslav league system in 1946, Hajduk went on to spend the entire SFR Yugoslavia period in top level. Their run continued following the breakup of Yugoslavia, as the club joined the Croatian First League in its inaugural season in 1992, never having been relegated from its top tier. They are one of the most successful teams in Croatia and ex-Yugoslavia, having won nine Yugoslav and six Croatian league championships, in addition to nine Yugoslav and five Croatian cup titles, without ever being relegated from its countries top football league.
The club's "golden era" came in the 1970s, when they won four Yugoslav leagues and five Yugoslav cups. Hajduk is also the only club in Yugoslav football history that has won 5 consecutive Yugoslav cups (between 1972 and 1977), and also the only unbeaten champion (season 1950). Hajduk`s biggest European achievements are three European Cup quarterfinals, one UEFA Cup semifinal, and one Cup Winners' Cup semifinal.
