NK HAŠK 1903

Early days

HAŠK was founded as a multi-sports club in November 1903 by nine Zagreb students (August Adam, Dragutin Albrecht, Petar Čerlek, Vjekoslav Jurković, Marko Kostrenčić, Krešimir Miskić, Oskar Mohr, Lav Wodwarška and Hinko Würth) who are today seen as pioneers of organized sports at the University of Zagreb. The club's purpose was to popularize sports among Croatian students, as well as to counter the ongoing magyarization of Croatian public life, since Croatia was at the time part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The club's colours were red, white and golden, chosen to represent the colours of Croatian provinces. At first, the club had sections for fencing, ice-skating, skiing, sledding and sports shooting, but ever since football was introduced in the spring of 1904, it became the most popular and well-known department of the club. The club played its first official game on 16 October 1906 against PNIŠK Zagreb (Prvi nogometni i športski klub Zagreb, First football and sports club Zagreb) which ended in a 1–1 draw in front of 800 spectators. The club played many non-league games against local sides and against foreign opponents in the following years, such as the game against BEAC (the University of Budapest sports club) in 1909. When the first Croatian football championship was started in 1912, HAŠK were heading the table in mid-season and were later declared champions as the competition was abandoned after the winter break due to poor organization.

After the breakup of Yugoslavia and the re-establishment of HAŠK, there were attempts by the political authorities to attribute the histories of the football clubs Građanski and HAŠK to Dinamo. To that end, Dinamo briefly changed its name to HAŠK Građanski. Following a series of conflicts, the newly formed HAŠK was officially recognized as the successor of the football section of the original HAŠK, while HAŠK Građanski (Dinamo) changed its name to Croatia Zagreb, before reverting to Dinamo in February 2000. On April 12, 2011, NK Dinamo Zagreb further adjusted its name to Građanski nogometni klub Dinamo Zagreb, aiming to emphasize its connection to Građanski. HAŠK's successors:
