After a public tender for broadcasting rights to matches overseen by HNS, the Croatian Football Federation is happy to confirm that a contract has been signed with HNS's new media partner Endorphin Magine Ltd (Endorphin).
Beginning with the 2022/23 competition season, Endorphin will take over the production and distribution of all matches in HNS's portfolio – which includes men’s and women’s domestic club competitions (league and cup), all available futsal national team, youth national team and women’s national team matches, and non-centralised friendlies of the men’s senior national team.

In addition to its sporting interests, Magine Pro also works with major clients in the entertainment industry such as Flixole, PassionFlix, Sappa, and more.
“Our partnership with Endorphin reflects the growing international appeal of our competitions and is the start of a new era for Croatian football – which has experienced a real boom in recent years, both in terms of our excellent national teams and in terms of the performance of our clubs. The hard work within our football clubs helped us raise the profile of our competitions and land an impressive contract like this one - in turn, our partnership with Endorphin will be hugely beneficial for clubs and will help them grow even further. I am certain that Endorphin will be an excellent partner in helping HNS and our clubs to continue bringing football in Croatia to a higher level. We look forward to working with Endorphin in promoting Croatian football on a global scale and in bringing our competitions and our national teams to a wider audience,” says HNS president Davor Šuker.
“We are delighted to have been chosen by HNS as the winner of the global media rights for the Croatian football leagues. I have followed Croatian football for a long time, and am really impressed by the quality and the excitement created on the pitch. We look forward with anticipation to providing this thrill to a worldwide audience,” says Endorphin leading partner Gunnar Winbergh.
