Football updates: Hajduk Bjelovar resurgence and Spartak Subotica's historic defeat

In Croatian football, Hajduk Bjelovar is experiencing a resurgence following six seasons without a single point. After missing the previous season due to a lack of players, the club has secured four points through seven rounds of the 2026/2027 season. Led by coach and sporting director Igor Kramarić and president Ivo Bandura, the team has utilized new sponsorships to acquire essential equipment and kits, successfully moving off the bottom of the league table.
