'''Radnički nogometni klub Split''' ("Workers' Football Club of Split") commonly known as '''RNK Split''', is a Croatian professional [[football (soccer)|football]] club based in the city of [[Split (city)|Split]]. The club currently plays in the [[First County Football League (Croatia)|1. ŽNL]].

==History==
The club had a strong fanbase in the Split's [[shipyard]]. The club was founded on 16 April 1912 as Anarch, but has had several names like Borac, Jug, HAŠK, Dalmatinac, and Arsenal since then.

During the [[Spanish Civil War]], RNK Split organized an unsuccessful expedition of his volunteers for the fight on the side of the anti-fascist coalition against [[Francisco Franco]]'s forces.

In [[World War II]], the club became well known because 120 of its players were killed fighting on the side of [[Josip Broz Tito]]'s [[Yugoslav Partisans|Partisans]], fighting against Axis forces.<ref>[http://arhiv.slobodnadalmacija.hr/20000522/prilozi-sp4.htm#sv U NOB-u poginulo 120 splitovaca ] ''[[Slobodna Dalmacija]]'' {{in lang|hr}}</ref>

After achieving three consecutive promotions from 2008 to 2010, the club went from playing in Croatia's fourth tier to playing in the [[Croatian First Football League|Croatian First League]], Croatia's top division.

In the team's first season in the top flight in the 2010–11 season, they achieved a very respectable third spot. Because of its finish that season, they qualified to play for Europe for the first time in the club's existence and entered into the [[2011–12 UEFA Europa League]] second qualifying round where they met [[Slovenia]]n side [[NK Domžale|Domžale]]. They won 5–2 on aggregate and in the third qualifying round they were drawn against [[Premier League]] side [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]], whom they lost to 2–0 on aggregate.

In the 2014–15 season, the club managed to reach the Europa League playoff round after defeating [[FC Mika|Mika]], [[Hapoel Be'er Sheva F.C.|Hapoel Be'er Sheva]] and [[FC Chornomorets Odesa|Chornomorets Odesa]], but lost 1–0 on aggregate to [[Italian Serie A]] side [[Torino F.C.|Torino]].

==Crest and colours==
Founded as ''HRŠD "Anarch"'', the club's first colors were black (the color of [[Anarchists]]). HRŠD stood for ''Hrvatsko radničko športsko društvo'' (''Croatian Workingmen's Sports Society''). In 1933, as influence of "red" ([[organized labour]], [[Social democracy|Social democrat]] and [[Communist]]) youth grew stronger, the club changed its colors to all red and its name to ''Radnički nogometni klub Split'' (''Workingmen's Football Club Split'').

During [[SFR Yugoslavia]] RNK Split played in the top football division four times, but did not win a Championship or Cup title. The biggest success in the Yugoslav Cup was in the [[1960–61 Yugoslav First League#Cup|season of 1960–61]], when they lost in the semi-finals against the Macedonian team [[FK Vardar|Vardar]] in the game on Vardar's home stadium.
