The article reports on a protest organized by the Split-based fan group Torcida ahead of a football match between Varaždin and Hajduk Split in the first round of the SuperSport HNL. The fan group has announced a complete boycott of ticket purchases for all stands due to dissatisfaction with the price of 18 euros for away tickets, conditions at the Jug stand, and rules imposed on Hajduk fans. In their statement, Torcida accuses Varaždin's club leadership of creating high ticket prices, poor hygiene standards, and mistreatment of fans and children at entry points. They describe the club as a 'poor team' created on the grave of a true Varteks (a reference to a former successful club) extinguished through political games, and call on Hajduk fans to boycott ticket purchases. The protest includes plans to gather outside the stadium and support the home team.
