The design of Stadion Maksimir initially included a single grandstand in

5628-407: The stadium, but no significant improvements were made. The arranged reconstruction of Stadion Maksimir soon became an enormous financial problem for the city, and for a brief period of time Bandić was planning to call a referendum in which the citizens of Zagreb would decide whether to continue with investments into Stadion Maksimir, or rather to build a brand new Stadion Kajzerica . The referendum

5712-527: The subject of the club's name was dropped for a while, in 2011, club management increasingly began claiming again that Dinamo is the direct descendant of Građanski (which had originally been founded in 1911 and disbanded in 1945) and in April that year decided to prepend the adjective " Građanski " to the club's official name, turning it into the present-day GNK Dinamo ( Građanski nogometni klub Dinamo or Dinamo Citizens' Football Club). The team's traditional colour

5796-493: The then Kingdom of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs (renamed Kingdom of Yugoslavia at the end of 1929) was held irregularly, and sometimes involved only regional selections, sometimes only clubs, and occasionally both clubs and regions.

The winners of

5880-402: The top two places in the final standings. The team is also the most successful Croatian Cup competitor, appearing so far in 23 of the Cup's 29 staged finals, 16 of which they have won.

Both legs ended without goals, so a playoff game in Subotica

6048-480: The wartime football league. The club's last official game was a 2–2 draw against HAŠK on 10 April 1945, just before both clubs were disbanded. In the immediate aftermath of World War II , Građanski was disbanded (along with city rivals HAŠK and Concordia Zagreb) by a decree issued by the communist authorities in June 1945.

After several appeals from both sides, in spring 1979 Football Association of Yugoslavia ruled in favour of Rijeka. The case

6216-433: Was brought to Employment Appeal Tribunal, which four years later ruled Dinamo as champions.[1] The injustice was never corrected as Dinamo never received recognition from Football Association of Yugoslavia nor Hajduk who simply ignored the judgement. This is still often seen by Dinamo's fans as another evidence of mistreatment of their club by Yugoslav football authorities and as hypocrisy of their rivals - Hajduk. Finally, at

6300-524: Was coached by Građanski's former goalkeeper Maks Mihelčić who also took the role of a goalkeeping coach. In the first few years, the club played their home matches at Građanski's old ground, Stadion Koturaška , before moving to a new stadium built on place of HAŠK's former ground in Maksimir. Following its formation, the club entered Yugoslav First League in its inaugural 1946–47 season and finished runners-up, five points behind champions Partizan . In

The newly established Dinamo took over Građanski's colors and nickname, inherited its pre-war fan base, and in 1969 even adopted

6468-632: Was held, which ended 1–1. Rapid progressed to the final on a coin toss, but the final game (against Ferencváros ) was never played because of the outbreak of World War II.

They were runners-up in the league four times, and only on four occasions have they concluded a season of Prva HNL finishing out of

6636-437: Was never held and both projects were ultimately abandoned in 2012. Nevertheless, some crucial work was done between 2011 and 2013, when the club replaced all of the seats from the four existing stands, installed the under-soil heating , ameliorated the interior of the stadium, and made some aesthetic adjustments, among others, to the colour of the stands and of the tartan track surrounding the pitch. Currently, Stadion Maksimir

6720-537: Was officially opened in 1924 by Stjepan Radić , a prominent Croatian politician.

6888-408: Was put in order for the 1987 Summer Universiade , but even then the final appearance of the stadium was less satisfactory than what was to be expected. Some progress was finally made in 1997 when seats were installed on both the east and south stands.

6972-417: Was sentenced to a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence for corruption . On the same day, the club released a statement on their official website, in which they claimed that they were "shocked" with the verdict , also claiming that they "firmly believe" that Zdravko Mamić and the others who were sentenced are innocent. In the 2018–19 UEFA Europa League , Dinamo qualified for the knockout phase , making it

7056-406: Was widely seen as a political move by the leadership of then newly independent Croatia , with the goal of distancing the club from its communist past. As the name change was also never accepted by their supporters, the club renamed themselves back to Dinamo on 14 February 2000. As Croatia Zagreb, the club won six league titles, of which five were won in a row from 1996 to 2000 . During this period,
