Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Both of them Josip Vukovic's — 8.85

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.85, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Yannick Touré beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 24. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Sibenik

Branko Vrgoč and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match26 Sep 2026

6 goals as Sibenik and Cibalia go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Sibenik and Cibalia, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Sibenik

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Karlo Špeljak was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Marco Russo wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Sibenik know it.

Match26 Sep 2026

Josip Vukovic rescues a point for Sibenik

It needed Josip Vukovic to find the net to bring anything home at all: 3‑3 against Cibalia, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Half-satisfied: Fran Kovac on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 3‑3, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Josip Vukovic named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Josip Vukovic has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Both of them Josip Vukovic's — 8.83

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.83, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad31 Aug 2026

6 saves: Matej Grahovac was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

$330.0K settles it between the clubs for Jakov Miholić

HNK Gorica have accepted the money. What Sibenik do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market31 Aug 2026

Franko Knez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Sibenik can pretend not to have heard.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Sibenik

Branko Vrgoč and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match29 Aug 2026

Sibenik leaking at the back

5 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Match29 Aug 2026

Josip Vukovic the difference as Sibenik beat Dugopolje

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Josip Vukovic. 3‑2 against Dugopolje, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Sibenik rebuffed over Lisandru Olmeta

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Botosani have kept their man, and Sibenik go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

One of their own: Marco Russo

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Toni Španja was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 25. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market10 Aug 2026

Ivan Buva asks to leave Sibenik

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Paul Bismarck Tabinas will not be coming to Sibenik

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Dinamo Zagreb is saying, and nobody at Sibenik is enjoying the guessing.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Sibenik

Branko Vrgoč and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Door shut on Dominik Celija

Sibenik asked and Istra 1961 said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Home is on Marco Russo's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Sibenik are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Match8 Aug 2026

Karlo Špeljak’s goal not enough for Sibenik

Karlo Špeljak scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Imotski, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Market10 Aug 2026

Sibenik promote Robert Babic from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Robert Babic has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

Bojan Budimir steps up from the Sibenik academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bojan Budimir has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
