Nogometni klub Slaven Belupo (English:Slaven Belupo Football Club), often referred to asSlaven Belupo, is a Croatian professionalfootballclub based in the city ofKoprivnica in the north of Croatia. They play their home matches atGradski stadion in Koprivnica. They play in theCroatian Football League.
The first football club in Koprivnica was founded in June 1907, when a student team was formed and namedĐački nogometni klub, which isCroatian forStudents' Football Club. The name Slaven first appeared when a sports club namedHŠK Slaven was founded by the members of the Friedrich family on 20 August 1912 and this is considered to be the foundation date of the present-day club. The club won the Croatian championship in 1920, which was one of the Yugoslav regional championships. Slaven was subsequently renamedHŠK Victorija, but disbanded six years later due to financial difficulties. Subsequently, the city of Koprivnica was without a football club for four years, between 1926 and 1930.
Between 1930 and 1945, the club was known asHŠK Koprivnica,HŠK Danica andRNHŠK Sloga, before the name Slaven returned with the foundation ofFD Slaven. From 1953, the club was known asSD Podravka, before being renamed toNK Slaven in 1958. The name Slaven remains until today, with occasional changes to the name of the club's principal sponsors. The club was thus known asNK Slaven Bilokalnik between 1992 and 1994, after which it was changed to its current name following a sponsorship agreement with the Koprivnica-basedpharmaceutical company Belupo.
Slaven gained their first promotion to thePrva HNL in 1997 and have never been relegated. In 2000, they finished fifth in the Prva HNL and qualified for theUEFA Intertoto Cup. In their first Intertoto Cup appearance, they managed to reach the third round of the competition before being eliminated byCzech clubSigma Olomouc after losing 2–0 at home and getting a goalless draw on the road. One year later, they repeated the success and were eliminated by renowned English clubAston Villa with a 3–2aggregate defeat. In their next two Intertoto Cup appearances, they were even more successful as they reached the semifinals of the competition on both occasions. They were eliminated after losing to renowned clubsStuttgart from Germany andLille from France, respectively. Their last Intertoto Cup appearance in 2005 ended in the third round with a 4–0 aggregate defeat to Spanish clubDeportivo La Coruña, having lost the first leg by 1–0[1] and the second leg by 0–3.[2]
Slaven Belupo heads the all-time Intertoto Cup table being the most successful team in history of this tournament.[3]
In 2007, the club reached theCroatian Cup final for the first time, after defeating defending Cup holdersHNK Rijeka 3–2 on aggregate. In the final, they lost toDinamo Zagreb 2–1 on aggregate. Despite having lost the final, Slaven qualified for theUEFA Cup for the first time in their history, since Dinamo had already qualified for theUEFA Champions League by virtue of having won the Prva HNL.
Slaven reached the second qualifying round of the2007–08 UEFA Cup, defeatingAlbanian sideTeuta Durrës 8–4 on aggregate before being eliminated after a 4–2 aggregate defeat to Turkish clubGalatasaray.[4] In 2008, Slaven finished runners-up in the Croatian league, which remains their best domestic result to date.[5]
On 28 August 2008 Slaven Belupo qualified for the2008–09 UEFA Cup by beatingAris ofGreece 2–1 on aggregate, thereby achieving arguably the best result in the history of the club.[6][7]
Slaven finished 3rd in the 2011–12 1. HNL, qualifying for the2012–13 UEFA Europa League. After defeatingPortadown 10–2 on aggregate they bowed out to Spanish giantsAthletic Bilbao 4–3 on aggregate.
In 2016, Slaven defeated HNK Rijeka 4–2 on aggregate in the2015–16 Croatian Football Cup semi-final, reaching the final for the second time in their history.
In 2023 group of fans organized themselves into a fan group under the namePodravske štuke (Podravska pike).
