Šibenik demoted to 4th tier of Croatian football. The club will play in 3. HNL Jug due to financial problems. This is a dramatic fall for Šibenik, who was relegated from the top tier last season. Now they failed to secure a license for any of the top three divisions. Šibenik's licensing failure is due to financial problems, which have been present since their relegation. Besides Šibenik, another club that failed to secure a license is Marsonia. They failed to secure a license for the Druga NL. On the other hand, Vukovar, the champion of the Prva NL, managed to secure a license. However, they will have to play their matches in Vinkovci, as their home ground does not meet the necessary requirements for the SuperSport HNL. The HNS has published the full list of licensing decisions, detailing which clubs have fulfilled the criteria across all competition levels. The licensing process is an annual procedure to ensure clubs meet specific financial, infrastructural, sporting, legal and administrative standards required to participate in Croatian and UEFA competitions.
