Hajduk Split is a Croatian football club founded in 1911 and based in the city of Split. The club was founded in the old pub “U Fleků” in Prague, by a group of students from Split: Fabijan Kaliterna, Lucijan Stella, Ivan Šakić and Vjekoslav Ivanišević. After they watched match between local clubs Sparta and Slavia, they decided it was time their own town have a professional football club. The club was officially registered with the authorities on February 13, 1911. Their first opponent was “Calcio Spalato” and the result was 9:0 in favor of Hajduk.
