Mladost Trophy

About Mladost Trophy

The Mladost Trophy is the oldest Croatian sports award. The award has been given out every year since 1950 for the best sports results of individuals and teams in the previous year. The award, a cast bronze statue, is the work of academic sculptor Ivan Sabolić

Today, the Mladost Trophy is traditionally awarded every year in six categories: best female athlete, best male athlete, best women’s team, best men’s team, best club and best sports worker. Over the years, Mladost Trophy has also been awarded several times as a special recognition to members of the management, but also to all individuals or companies who have helped with their work and activities in the work and success of HAŠK Mladost.

In addition to the Mladost Trophy, the Mladost Lifetime Achievement award, a work by the academic sculptor Damir Mataušić, has been awarded every year since 2003. The first lifetime achievement award was given to Žarko Susić.

All of this is aimed at creating a society as one big family, which is the practice in most sports clubs.
