Sažetak

The number of sport associations in Osijek points to the fact that sport was not only of outstanding quality, but also very popular. Shooting – cultivated by the Citizen’s Shooting Sport Association – is the oldest organized sport in Osijek, while the most active membership was that of both the Osijek Upper Town and Lower Town Hrvatski sokol associations. The year 1914 was marked by active functioning in the first half and fading away of social work in the months after the outbreak of the First World War. The gradual cessation of pre-war sport associations and clubs’ activities in Osijek was brought about by the general mobilization of all citizens which were fit for military service during the summer, the placing of sport infrastructure at the disposal of the military and using it to store military equipment, as well as the Ban’s decree of 26 July 1914.
