Welcome to the heart of European soccer: Varazdin Rush, our newest first-division team.

In Croatia, a country of soccer passion and prowess, Varazdin Rush shines as a dream destination for Rush talent. “Little Vienna” – Varazdin’s historic charm, just an hour from Zagreb, sets the stage for greatness.

NK Varazdin is the perfect match for Rush, because it’s a stronghold of youth development, and propels players to top European leagues.

Through our Select Program and Rush Select Academy, we’re scouting talent for this extraordinary journey. Our Rush scouts will comb our entire Rush network and identify our best players.

The partnership goes beyond borders. Rush players and coaches will flourish through training, trials, and coaching events in Croatia. Varazdin Rush is rewriting the soccer narrative by helping create Europe’s new generation of talents.

This addition to the Rush Pyramid reinforces our player pathway. Stay up to speed with your new professional Rush team by visiting their website: https://nk-varazdin.hr/

Welcome Varazdin Rush!
