Dejan Turk, President of the Board of Directors of A1 Croatia and A1 Slovenia:

Sport has the power to connect, create unity and positive emotions, and these are values that A1 Croatia strongly cherishes. We thank all clubs for the excellent, fast and constructive cooperation. We look forward to everything we will do together for the clubs, for the fans, and for all those who live sports. This is just the beginning of our support for Croatian football, which I believe we will soon extend to other clubs. A1 is here for all fans, regardless of the color of the jersey, and we proudly support Croatian sport and young talents

Zvonimir Boban, President of the Board of GNK Dinamo:

We are extremely pleased that A1 Croatia, as one of the leading telecommunications operators in the country, has recognized our club as a true and serious partner and has decided to become our new sponsor. We believe that our partnership will be long-term because we are connected by similar thoughts about social good and responsibility towards the entire community, which, in addition to business interests, are the true foundation of our cooperation. We look forward to all the joint projects ahead of us, we are sure that they will be successful and important – both for A1 and for GNK Dinamo

Damir Mišković, President of HNK Rijeka:

We are pleased to recognize in A1 a new partner who shares the values of professionalism, innovation and support for the community. We have a historic season behind us, with the Croatian championship title and the Croatian Cup trophy, and we are extremely pleased that a renowned company like A1 has joined us at this moment of success and stability. This cooperation further confirms that our work is recognized outside of sports fields, and we believe that through joint activities we will bring additional value to our fans and partners. Together we are Rijeka

Vladimir Čohar, Member of the Board and Director of NK Osijek:

We are sure that A1 Croatia will contribute with its marketing strategies to doing a lot of good things in a joint synergy, both for our club and for our fans. There is no need to waste many words about such a company that has proven to invest a lot in sports, and I am happy and proud that we have also become part of the large A1 family.

Final thoughts about A1 Croatia football sponsorship

A1 Croatia’s latest partnerships with GNK Dinamo, HNK Rijeka, and NK Osijek go beyond traditional sponsorship. They reflect a deeper commitment to uniting people through sport, enhancing fan engagement, and strengthening community ties. As A1 continues to invest in Croatian football, this move sets a new standard for how brands can support sports while driving positive social impact — proving that the beautiful game is even more powerful when backed by purpose.

While A1 Croatia is taking bold steps in football sponsorships to enhance community engagement and brand visibility, its competitors are also active in supporting sports and public initiatives. Hrvatski Telekom, for instance, has long-standing ties with Croatian football, including sponsorship of the national team and the SuperSport HNL league, positioning itself as a key supporter of national pride and sporting excellence. Meanwhile, Telemach Croatia has focused its efforts on youth development and grassroots sports, recently supporting local clubs and digital transformation in sports education. Together, these initiatives by Croatia’s major telecom operators show how the industry is playing an increasingly important role in shaping the future of sports and community support — each with its unique approach, but with shared values of connection, empowerment, and social responsibility.
