HONORARY CHAIRMEN

Milan Bandić (born 22nd November, 1955. in Grude)
Is the true successor to the great Dinamo’s chairmen who held the title with pride. Bandić, Dinamo and Zagreb are in love publicly, and the club from Maximir has always had a special place in his heart. The goal of the Zagreb’s mayor was to create the great European club and he is trying really hard to fulfill this dream. Milan Bandić is one of the most popular lord mayors in the history of Zagreb and he wants to put this club back to the old glorious paths. Moreover he is a great friend of the “blue team” and has been widely recognized as such by the numerous fans of our club. He has remodeled the well-known Kennedy’s proverb into ”Do not ask what Dinamo can give you but what you can give to Dinamo.”

Franjo Tuđman (born 14th of May, 1922 in Veliko Trgovišče, died 10th December 1999 in Zagreb)
As the President of the Republic, he regularly came to the matches in Maximir. Although he didn’t approve of the name “Dinamo”, considering it the remnants of the social-communistic era, he helped the club in many ways. While he was the President of Croatia, the club changed the name twice – first to “Hašk Građanski” and then to “Croatia”. Together with Zlatko Canjuga, the club’s chairman, he started the restoration of the club, and the first step was the creation of European club which would play an important role in the European field of sports. Croatia, as a club, almost made all his dreams come true. Another big project of his was the building of the new stadium but unfortunately the death stopped him in the realization of the idea.

Marko Belinić (born 13th August, 1911 in Jakovlje – died 19th December, 2004 in Zagreb)
The one and only politician of his time who always stood on Dinamo’s side. Trying very hard, he succeeded in bringing Slavko Arneri from “Lokomotiva” to “Dinamo” during the Spring Championship in 1948 and after Zvonimir Monsider had emigrated. He ensured the transfer of Bernard Huegle as a coach by the power of his authority in 1949.

Ivan Šibl (born 28^th October, 1917 in Virovitica – died 12^th February, 1989 in Zagreb)
the president of the football club (FC)”Dinamo”, from 1957. to 1967., and as such was considered the greatest in the history of the club while he was the chairman of the club, “Dinamo” won the Major Cities Championship and three Yugoslavia’s cups. He was a true fighter for fair relationships in sport within the former country, and he openly criticized the situation in Yugo-football in his famous interview given to “Vus”. After he had withdrawn from the chairman position he regularly attended the matches only he changed his box with the place on the West Stand.
