From our football correspondent Steady

Match2 Nov 2026

Zadar are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 35 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Match28 Oct 2026

The small margins put Zadar out

Out, 1‑2 to NK Osijek, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Nobody could get near Andrej Kramaric

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market2 Nov 2026

Tin Colak wants more than Zadar are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Words at Zadar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrej Kramaric 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.

Match31 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Zadar against Rudes

0‑2 to Rudes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match3 Oct 2026

Zadar make it 10 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Zadar have 10 straight wins of it.

Match5 Oct 2026

Zadar are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 28 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Daniel Lovren in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Zadar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match3 Oct 2026

Tin Colak sends Zadar past Lucko

It finished 2‑0, and it was Tin Colak’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Zadar.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tin Colak is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.21 with 11 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Words at Zadar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrej Kovac 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.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

One of those days for Zvonimir Vrsaljko

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.04, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad5 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Mislav Cop

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mislav Cop, and the manager let it.

Market5 Oct 2026

Tin Colak linked with a move away

The name of Tin Colak keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Zadar say nothing, which says plenty.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match7 Sep 2026

Zadar refuse to drop out of the race

Position 1, 16 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Andrej Kramaric

Successful dribbles: 33. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market7 Sep 2026

The Zurich deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Tin Colak reports back to Zadar with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Match5 Sep 2026

Zadar make it 6 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Zadar have 6 straight wins of it.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Zadar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrej Kramaric 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.

Match5 Sep 2026

Zadar find a way past Imotski

Imotski made Zadar work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad7 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Mislav Cop

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mislav Cop, and the manager let it.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Tin Colak named player of the month

The award goes to Tin Colak, and nobody around here is inclined to argue with the choice.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Mislav Cop stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.94 on the card, and the Zadar support went home talking about one name.

In brief

  • Squad A place in the month's best eleven for Niko Šepić
  • The terraces Supporters make their feelings known about Tin Colak
  • Market The window shut and Daniel Lovren is still in the building

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Andrej Kramaric

Successful dribbles: 35. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match15 Aug 2026

Zadar tear Sibenik apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑0 against Sibenik, and it could have been more.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A brace, and Tin Colak takes the afternoon — 9.30

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Tin Colak provided it, and the 9.30 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Both of them Mislav Cop's — 9.26

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.26, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

Supporters turn on the $600.0K sale of Josip Vrsaljko

He is going to HNK Gorica, the club has $600.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market17 Aug 2026

Zadar sell Josip Vrsaljko for $600.0K

Josip Vrsaljko has left for HNK Gorica in a $600.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Zadar

Daniel Lovren 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.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

Zadar supporters have found a favourite in Marko Budimir

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Marko Budimir has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match15 Aug 2026

Sibenik blown away early

There is a particular helplessness in conceding 3 times before the twentieth minute. Sibenik tried to reorganise, Zadar did not allow it, and the result was written long before it was confirmed.
