HŠK Concordia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HŠK Concordia was a Croatian football club formed in Zagreb. The club was founded as the Srednjoškolski športski klub in 1906.

By the end of the First World War the club had played many matches with both domestic and foreign clubs. After the war, the prewar members along with the members of HŠK Viktorije reformed the club as Concordia-Viktorija (quickly renamed to Concordia).

One of the most importants acts by the club was the building of a stadium on Tratinska cesta (today's Stadion Kranjčevićeva), then the biggest in Zagreb. It was finished in 1921.

Apart from football, the club also competed in athletics, skiing, field hockey and table tennis. The club's most famous players were: Pavelić, Babić, Ivan Belošević, Jazbec, Monsider, Pavletić, Kodrnja and Muradori. The club played in both the Yugoslavian and Croatian leagues. In 1945 it was renamed to Zeleni 1906. NK Zagreb's third jersey is green in honour of Concordia, whose old stadium is now their own.
