Everton have been pitted against Hajduk Split in the Europa League’s play-off round. We’ve unearthed all you need to know about the team from Croatia.

Rich pedigree

Hajduk Split are six-time Croatian champions and, before the country gained independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, won the Yugoslav title on nine occasions.

This is the club’s 11th successive Europa League campaign, albeit they have not progressed beyond the group stage, which they reached in 2010/11.

Hajduk did, though, reach the semi-finals of the competition in 1983/84, when they lost out on away goals to eventual winners Tottenham.
