Green Dragons

Green Dragons, also known as simply "Dragonsi"(The Dragons), are supporters of the Olimpija branch of sport clubs in Ljubljana. The most prominent roles amongst these belong to NK Olimpija and KK Union Olimpija. They are also one of two major football Ultras groups in Slovenia, the other being their traditional enemy, the Viole. They mostly wear green and white symbols and clothing, which are the club's colors. They are divided into three main sub-groups: Youth Crew, made up of the younger members, CRC, containing the veterans, and other semi-active members.

The name

The name Green Dragons is connected to the symbol of the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, which is a green dragon on top of a white castle on a red shield. The image of the dragon is therefore familiar to all the residents of the city and it even appears in bronze form on one of the more famous bridges across the Ljubljanica river, the Dragon Bridge from 1901. However, the name Green Dragons was first used during a football game against FC Prishtina in the autumn of 1988, when a fan unfurled a banner with the words: "Green Dragons". The identity of the fan is unknown and he probably had no idea of the impact he would have on Slovenian football history.
