Moreover, club representatives are equally happy with the new grounds. The maintenance activities are in compliance with contractor's guidelines. The grounds are used very often, not only for training sessions and home team matches, but they are also being used by neighbouring clubs.

These clubs are especially grateful to FIFA, UEFA, and Croatian Football Federation for all the assistance and this praiseworthy, specific and a true footballing donation, since all the grounds are often the only place for gathering of children, youth, and locals.
