HNK Šibenik has significantly strengthened its squad this season by signing Indian international Sandesh Jhingan. This move comes at a time when the club has the highest number of Colombian players in the First HNL, with six in total. Šibenik thus joins the trend of increasing foreign players in Croatian football, which has reached 134 players from 43 countries this season. This situation is a result of the growing interest in Croatian football following the national team's success at the 2018 World Cup. While foreigners have brought new quality, domestic players face challenges in their development. Under the leadership of its new Colombian owner, Šibenik aims to leverage this trend to strengthen its position in the league. Jhingan and his teammates are expected to contribute to better results for the club in the upcoming matches.
