Croatia gains another domestic club with Zapruđe

Croatia continue to surprise with their growth. 5 clubs in one city?

It'll be very interesting to see their progress in the Euro Cup and the European Championships over the next few years. With a small number of players to draw on and little full field experience I think they went 2-2 at the European Champs last year. They beat Iceland and Germany, but lost badly to Sweden and Ireland.

I always figured Germany might loom up as the next challenger to the big 4 of Ireland, Britain, Denmark and Sweden, but perhaps Croatia are growing just as fast.

Yeah! Great news from Croatia especially with the apparent contractions suffered by the Zagreb Hawks and Agram Power earlier in the year. Lets hope they have been able to recover as well.

I believe the the Bombers and the Zapresic Eagles were the only teams(along with the Down Under Dogs) playing in this year's premiership in Croatia.

Has that changed?

It seems that most countries take a hit in expansion before consolidating their growth, hope that has now happened for Croatia.

As far as I know, the HLAN premiership this year remains just Velika Gorica, Zapresic and the Styrian Doggies this year, with Zaprude playing friendlies. Maybe next year there'll be the Hawks and Agram back on the field. Or the idea might be that Zagreb and Agram are replaced by clubs with a suburb-specific name and identity, rather than the general metro area name (Agram being an alternative older name for Zagreb).

Outside the Zagreb metro area, there was at some point some guys interested in starting a club in Rijeka (the Sharks, I believe) but I'm guessing it didn't get off the ground so far.
