GNK Dinamo Zagreb

Dinamo Zagreb (in Croatian and officially: Građanski Nogometni Klub Dinamo) is a football club from Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. It plays in the Prva HNL, the top tier of Croatian football, and is the most decorated club in its country, with 26 league titles, 18 cups and, at international level, one Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.

The club was founded on 9 April 1911 and on 9 June 1945 merged with three other Zagreb sports organisations: HAŠK, Građanski and Concordia. During the time Croatia was part of Yugoslavia, it played in the Yugoslav First League, where it won four league titles and seven cups. It was also the first Croatian and Yugoslav club to win a European competition, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in its 1967/68 edition. In all that time, Dinamo never dropped out of the top tier.

When Croatia became independent, the team entered the Prva HNL, renounced the name Dinamo and had other names, such as HAŠK Građanski and Croatia Zagreb. However, it recovered its original name in 2000. In 2011 the board added the epithet Građanski (in English, “citizens”) to the club's name and celebrated the centenary events, counting as its founding date that of Građanski Zagreb.

The organisation maintains a fierce rivalry with Hajduk Split, with whom it contests the so-called “Eternal Derby”.
