Good club, and great city to be in. Have any of you seen their projected new stadium, Kantrida, on the site of the historical one of the same name: it is very nice.

I saw these plans a few years ago when researching for a cultural exchange, there is a lot of new architecture in the city and excellent cultural and sports facilities

 

Nice part of the world.  A good friend has a place across the bay in Opatija.  Its a great place in the summer (a lot of Germans and Austrians).

It's kind of too bad that UEFA reorganized when they introduced the Conference League, it was nice to watch Rijeka in the Europa league when they made it. Now 1st in Croatia goes into the CL and 2 & 3 go into a qualifying round for the Europa Conference League. Rijeka is in a tough fight this year, they've finished 3rd a few years in a row and 2nd recently, currently tied for 2nd place with Osijek and Hajduk Split (more of a traditional power) is in 4th 2 pts behind with a game in hand.

The Croatian League usually start up in mid-summer, so if anyone is there on vacation in August you can catch a game. Beautiful country

This can only happen in some of those former communist countries. The team Hrv. Dragovoljac basically ran out of money during the fall season and most of their players left because they weren't getting paid. so Rijeka took the opportunity to have  their younger players to have higher level playing while letting Dragovolljac finish out the season. The team was really bad, but with these youngsters actually won a game by a score of 5:0 last weekend.
