KK Split, Split

Beginnings

It was back in 1945, when Split saw the first basketball game of the Fiscultural society Hajduk and since then the club was known under several different names – Hajduk, Split, Jugoplastika, Pop 84, Slobodna Dalmacija and Croatia osiguranje. Due to its famous heritage, the club has written itself with golden letters into the history books and perhaps the most famous were the times when it was competing under the name Jugoplastika.

Glory Days

The club has undergone many successful periods and its trophy cupboards are filled with numerous honours but perhaps the two peaks that could be pointed out were midways through the 70's, when the club has won the European Radivoj Korać Cup twice in a row (1976 and 1977) and between 1989 and 1991, when they were three times the winners of the European Champions Cup. Besides the times, spent on top of Europe, it's worth mentioning that Split's pride was the champion of Yugoslavia 6 times and also 5 times Yugoslav Cup Winner. They won Croatian National Championship once and Croatian National Cup 5 times as well.
