Croatia sports: Football milestones, basketball finals, and international judo tournament

Various sporting events are taking place across Croatia. In football, NK Varaždin is preparing for an away match against Gorica following their cup success. Meanwhile, the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) addressed a delay in publishing disciplinary sanctions for the first round of the HNL, noting that decisions regarding fines for Dinamo and Hajduk due to pyrotechnics had been made but were not visible on their website due to a system error.

In the SuperSport HNL, NK Osijek made history by starting two underage brothers, Jona and Izak Ježić, in the same lineup against Dinamo. In women's football, Osijek's team is seeking its first points of the season following early goals and red cards in previous matches.

In basketball, Split secured a place in the Split Cup final after defeating Dubrovnik 74-59. In combat sports, the Split European Judo Hopes Tournament 2026 is underway at Gripe, featuring 468 competitors from 20 countries and technical training sessions led by Olympic champion Mashu Baker and Eva Csernoviczki.
