The Hrvatski Dragovoljac Courier
Match10 Oct 2026
The wait goes on for Hrvatski Dragovoljac
12 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Filip Šušković-Jakopac puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hrvatski Dragovoljac, and it is not being withdrawn.
The terraces12 Oct 2026
Fear has settled over Hrvatski Dragovoljac
Position 10, 6 points, and a crowd that arrives already braced. Relegation seasons are lost in exactly this atmosphere, and everybody who has lived through one recognises it immediately.

Tempers go at Hrvatski Dragovoljac
Antonio Jakoliš was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Squad12 Oct 2026
Dario Sivonjić stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Dario Sivonjić and Hrvatski Dragovoljac agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Hrvatski Dragovoljac come up short against Rudes
Rudes left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

David Mejía gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Words at Hrvatski Dragovoljac training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Filip Jagarčec is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Marin Kuzminski leaves them behind him
Shots: 4. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.
