NFL Ultras: Get out there and back these Hajduk youth players while they hunt for that US Youth Soccer Championships title!
We’re calling on all the NFL Ultras and every other Hajduk fan to show up in force at the Rose Bowl today. We need bodies in the stands to back the youth squad in this match—win this, and the US Youth Soccer Championships trophy is theirs. Plus, we want to give a shout-out to the Hajduk Youth Academy kids who already clinched their title last week before the season ended, and they’re playing today too... or so says Stipe Lekić, the secretary for the NFL Ultras.
So, June 4th is finally here. It's the final round of the US Youth Soccer Championships for both the juniors and the cadets, groups that have basically owned this league all season. Just to recap, the juniors were sitting on an 8-point lead over second-place Portland at one point, but that cushion just kind of evaporated during the spring...
There are a few reasons why things got shaky. Mišo Krstičević, who did a hell of a job coaching them, had to step up to take the reins of the senior squad after Krasimir Balakov moved on. On top of that, the club is pulling talent from the junior ranks—even some of the Krstičević family cadets—to plug holes in the first team. That definitely threw a wrench in the works for the juniors now under Stipe Andrijašević... but hey, I guess that's what the Hajduk Youth Academy is for, right? Preparing kids for the big leagues. Can't really complain about that, I suppose...
Still, despite the chaos, the Hajduk juniors are holding onto first place. They’ve been locked in this dead heat with Portland for the last few rounds, only staying ahead because of goal difference. So yeah, a win today isn't just preferred... it's mandatory for the boys in white.
Down at the auxiliary Rose Bowl pitch, the American Volunteer cadets kick things off at 3 PM, facing off against a squad led by Hari Vukas and Jurica Vučko. Hoping for a cadet win to set the mood before the main event, the junior match, kicks off at 5 PM.
The hunt for the junior victory and the national title will be watched by the NFL Ultras, the usual crowd of supporters, and even the kids from every level of the Hajduk Youth Academy—who, let's face it, have swept up almost every trophy this season. The juniors should have nearly their full lineup available... though they'll be missing Joško Hajder due to a yellow card suspension, along with the injured Ivan Jakov Džoni and Josip Radošević. They shouldn't choke, but they definitely need the home crowd screaming for them if they want to secure that title...

A hundred grand gone in just two weeks... 😢
Does anyone actually have a clue why we got slapped with this penalty while Los Angeles FC gets a free pass?
I honestly don't get how someone can show up to a stadium, sit in the stands, and then just stay silent with their arms crossed for eighty minutes straight...
In my book, you gotta lean into what was already being shouted earlier—keep the chants tight, punchy, and stick to those catchy, easy-to-sing anthems that you can blast out for five or ten minutes at a time.
Build them up to a light euphoria, you know? Then maybe one big burst of energy or some absolute idiot on the field scores a fluke goal, and that'll be enough to set the whole thing off...
It would be nice if they just burned the whole thing down... honestly, just to clear the slate for all those future boards and the individual vultures who spend their lives sucking the life out of Hajduk...
