Armada Rijeka

Armada Rijeka

Armada is a football supporters club for NK Rijeka; they're also known to support Rijeka's other sports clubs, such as RK Zamet (handball), VK Primorje (waterpolo) or KK Kvarner (basketball).

The name of the fan club was given in 1987 at a bar in the "Ri" shopping mall in Rijeka, and the first game attended by the Armada was the Final of the Yugoslav football cup against Hajduk Split in Beograd on the 9th of May 1987. The newly formed supporters group named themselves after the Spanish Armada because of the strength they showed in their support. Last year they celebrated 18 years of existence and the best gift the club was able to repay them with was winning the Croatian Cup. Their fiercest rivals are BBB (Bad Blue Boys), Torcida and Kohorta.

Their mottos are: "Sami protiv svih" - Alone against everybody, and "Krepat, ma ne molat" - Die but not give up.

Their biggest rivals are fans of Hajduk called Torcida Split, and NK Dinamo Zagreb fans called Bad Blue Boys.

Armada's mascot is a shark.
