During my visits to Croatia I spent some weeks on the Kvarner Islands and visited a few games of the local clubs. Although very amateurish, I somehow liked it enough to clearly remember the visits and I was wondering how the clubs were doing now. Surprisingly only NK Pag has a webpage which doesn't seem up-to-date however.

Can anyone tell me the current status of
NK Losinj
HNK Novalja
NK Pag

what league are they in? How is their position and outlook (promotion/relegation/etc)?

PS: in Novalja I was invited to the game by the owner of the hotel sponsoring the team Apparently they had 1 fulltime pro while the others were non-professional. They were in division 3 back then (the sponsor guy told me promotion would not have been possible due to lack of decent stadium) and their average was about 200 fans during home games.

The stadium of Novalja is nowhere near second division standards, so I am surprised to hear they were allowed into the second division. When I visited the club it was 2000 and they had 1 Brazilian in the team already then, that was that one professional player I was talking about. Apparently he didn't earn a lot though, but he was given free accomodation in the hotel from the sponsor.

In a small island town of 2000 people I don't see how you can possibly have a youth team set up?? Especially since most youngsters study on the mainland and only go back to the island during weekends and holidays, so how could HNKN set up a junior structure??

Is there no site listing those results? I would be keen on knowing how NK Pag and NK Losinj are doing as I have very nice memories on my visits to those clubs (and towns)

If I would need to name a favourite Croat team, it'd be NK Losinj, that one I liked most of all really. Both the visit to the club and the 2 weeks I spent in Veli Losinj were very nice and I still think back of those moments with great joy.
