Croatian Supercup
The Croatian Supercup (Croatian: Hrvatski nogometni superkup) is a football match between the winners of the Prva HNL and the Croatian Cup. The Supercup serves as a curtain raiser of the new football season and is only held when different clubs happen to win the two most important competitions during the previous season (e.g. the Supercup isn't held when a club wins The Double).
Since the two Croatian powerhouses won Doubles on seven occasions (Dinamo Zagreb 6 and Hajduk Split 1), the Supercup wasn't held in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2007, 2008 and 2009. In addition to this, the Supercup wasn't held on three occasions - in 1999 Dinamo refused to play Osijek saying it didn't fit their schedule, and in 2000 and 2001 Hajduk and Dinamo couldn't settle on match rules (whether it should be played in one leg or two legs, and in what order). In 2002 the Croatian Football Federation took over the organisation of the Supercup and made it an official single-legged fixture (with 30 minutes of extra time followed by a penalty shoot-out if necessary) which must be played a week before the next football season kicks off.[1]
Since 2002, the match has always been hosted by the club that won the league title, with the exception of 2002 when NK Zagreb were reigning champions, but they chose to "host" the match at Dinamo's Maksimir Stadium saying that playing at Maksimir would help them prepare for their upcoming UEFA Champions League qualifying fixture (as their own stadium at Kranjčevićeva had been declared unfit for UEFA competitions).[1]
