NŠK Sveti Mihovil’s impressive new football ground located a stone’s throw away from the Adriatic sea on the island of Ugljan has officially opened.
NK Osijek and NŠK Sveti Mihovil opened the new ground on Ugljan in the Zadar Archipelago off the Dalmatian coast with a 12-goal thriller. NŠK Sveti Mihovil will have to wait for their first win on their new ground as NK Osijek took the opener 8-4.
The club was formed in 1952 under the name Jadran before it became NK Ugljan in 1984. Today the club is called Sveti Mihovil and is made up of two islands – Ugljan and Pašman.
The ground, which has come in for a lot of media attention, is the latest on the list of spectacular football grounds in Croatia.
