Hajduk's Message on Social Media Ignites Split and Dalmatia; They Announce Their Demands Regarding Poljud

Hajduk Split has once again stirred passionate debate across Split and Dalmatia with its unwavering stance on constructing a new stadium. The club's social media message was clear: they will not back down from this vital project, framing it as indispensable for Hajduk's future and its hundreds of thousands of devoted fans. This determination highlights the club's management's resolve to push forward with a project they deem essential for progress.

The core of Hajduk's argument rests on the deteriorating state of the current Poljud stadium. After 47 years, the aging infrastructure is succumbing to the elements and, according to the club, insufficient maintenance. Hajduk has backed its claims with photographic evidence of the stadium's decay, emphasizing that the safety of fans and staff is paramount. An ongoing structural analysis is expected to provide further clarity on the stadium's condition.

Da je novi stadion jedina racionalna i dugoročno najisplativija opcija mogli smo se uvjeriti posljednjih nekoliko tjedana, kada su se sve sile udružile kako bi onemogućile razvoj splitske sportske infrastrukture i ostavile nas u osamdesetim godina prošlog stoljeća

Beyond safety concerns, Hajduk strongly emphasizes the economic implications. Publicly shared data from the Tax Administration indicates that Hajduk matches already generate significant revenue for the local community, estimated at over €230,000 in additional hospitality turnover per match, totaling €4.6 million annually. The club is convinced that a new, modern, and multifunctional venue would multiply these revenues, transforming into a true "economic growth generator" for Split.

The feasibility study, presented in March, analyzed four scenarios, with building a new stadium on the current Poljud site emerging as the most favorable option at an estimated €316.1 million. While other options, including complete reconstruction or building elsewhere, are significantly more expensive, Hajduk believes that a mere renovation (€82.5 million) is not a viable long-term solution. The club's push for a new stadium, however, faces the challenge that Poljud is a protected cultural monument, adding a layer of complexity to the entire endeavor.
