Split travel guide

Catching a Match with Hajduk Split at Poljud Stadium

Locals treat Hajduk Split like a religion, and seeing a match at Poljud, with the Torcida singing behind the goal, tells you more about the city's character than any museum. This page explains how to get tickets, what the stadium is like and what to expect on match day.

While figuring out your match day is a critical piece of the puzzle, you will need to plan the rest of your itinerary, dining slots and sightseeing routes. Before you set out, make sure to read our definitive Split travel guide to map out your entire stay.

How to get tickets

  • Buy official: single-match tickets are sold on the club's ticket site, at the membership office at Poljud and at Hajduk fan shops.
  • Members first: for big matches, sales often open to club members first, and some stands, like the north stand where the Torcida stand, can be for members only.
  • Away matches: tickets are sold by the home club, not by Hajduk.
  • Watch the news page: each match's sale dates and rules are announced on hajduk.hr.

Poljud stadium

Poljud was built for the 1979 Mediterranean Games in Split and designed by the architect Boris Magaš. Its concrete shell roof over the east and west stands makes it instantly recognisable, and in 2015 it was declared a protected cultural monument. It seats 33,987.

The Torcida

Hajduk's supporters, the Torcida, were founded in 1950 and fill the north stand with flags and non-stop singing. Even if you don't follow football, the atmosphere is the reason to go.

Match day tips

  • Getting there: Poljud is north-west of the old town; walk or take a taxi, and allow extra time before kick-off.
  • Where to sit: pick the east or west stands for a view of the Torcida rather than a seat among them.
  • Bags: travel light; expect security checks at the gates.
  • After the match: the old town fills up, so book dinner ahead.

What to plan next for your trip

Once you have sorted out your match day, it's time to explore the rest of Dalmatia - Split. Book dinner for after the match from our guide to the best konobas in Split. The next morning, explore Diocletian's Palace.
