International youth football tournaments “Lino Cup” and “Mali Zmaj” 2026
From October 1 to 4, 2026, Apfel Arena welcomes young talents as the host of the 4th “Lino Cup”. Running alongside it, the 17th annual “Mali Zmaj” tournament, hosted by HRNK Zmaj Makarska, will turn the entire city into a hub for youth football.
Four days of pure sporting excitement, great energy, and a fight for every ball await us across six age categories:
- Lino Cup (Apfel Arena): A competition for the youngest players in the U8, U9, and U10 categories, held on an artificial turf pitch and in an indoor sports hall.
- Mali zmaj (GSC Makarska): A tournament for slightly older age groups, U11, U12, and U14, on the outdoor pitches of the City Sports Center.
In addition to top-tier football, young players, their parents, and fans can look forward to a rich side program: entertainment, live music, medals, trophies, and socializing with peers from across the region. Alongside the young talents of HNK Hajduk, we expect many other teams from all over the region, all gathered with the same goal: creating new friendships and unforgettable memories on and off the pitch.
Registration is open until September 18, 2026, spots are limited. Register on time and see you in Makarska!
