HNK Hajduk Split
HNK Hajduk Split is a Croatia football club, one of the two most popular football clubs in the country. Hajduk is based in the city of Split, Croatia.
Their nicknames are "Bili" (The Whites) and "Majstori s mora" (Masters from the sea). Hajduk is one of the most successful teams in the former Yugoslavia and Croatia, having won 9 Yugoslav First League titles, 6 Prva HNL titles, 1 Banovina of Croatia title, 1 People's Republic of Croatia title, 5 Croatian Cups,5 Croatian Supercups and 9 Yugoslav Cups.
The team's traditional home colours are white shirts alongside with blue shorts and socks. Hajduk Split's home ground since 1979 is the 35,000-seater Poljud football stadium in Split (originally 50,000), where it has played since 1979. Hajduk Split holds long-standing rivalries with other football clubs, most notably Dinamo from Zagreb, with matches between the two teams referred to as "Eternal derby".
The club was founded in the famous, centuries-old pub U Fleku in Praguehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague (then also part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire ) by a group of students from Split: Fabijan Kaliterna, Lucijan Stella, Ivan Šakić and Vjekoslav Ivanišević.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HNK_Hajduk_Split#cite_note-hist-0They attended the pub following a match between AC Sparta and SK Slavija and decided it was time their own town founded its professional club. They all knew how popular the sport was in Split (their home), and how well their friends there played.
The club was officially registered with the authorities on February 13, 1911. The name originates from the hajduks, romanticized bandits that fought the Ottoman Turks. The founders subsequently designed the club's emblem, and a group of Catholic nuns from a monastery in Split created copies which were distributed to fans.

Torcida
Hajduk Split's supporters, Torcida, were formed on 28 October 1950. They took their name from the Brazilian fan group they idolized, which comes from the Portugese 'torcer' which means 'to cheer on'.

"Hajduk lives forever" is the fan's slogan, which testifies to the long and continuing history of name Hajduk.
