## Supporters

Armada is football ultras group that support HNK Rijeka. They also support Rijeka's other sports clubs, such as RK Zamet (handball), Primorje EB (waterpolo) and KK Kvarner 2010 (basketball).

The name Armada 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 Belgrade on 9 May 1987. The newly formed supporters group named themselves after the Spanish Armada because of the strength they showed in their support. Their fiercest rivals are BBB (Bad Blue Boys), Torcida and Kohorta.

At home games, Armada members gather in the west stand at Stadion Kantrida and in the last few years in the north stand of Stadion Rujevica, from where they fiercely support their club. They also regularly support Rijeka in the club's away games. They regularly display choreographies and light up flares.

Their mottos are: Sami protiv svih - Alone against everybody, and Krepat, ma ne molat - Die but not give up. Armada's mascot is a shark.

Kohorta Osijek is a group of supporters of Croatian soccer club NK Osijek. During the soccer match it is located on the southeast and east stands of the Gradski vrt stadium in Osijek.
