In Marina, football as known today has its ancestor in a game called "Krpaš". The game was named after the ball sewn of rags (cro.krpa - eng.rag) and only two teams are allowed to play - Mala vrata and Vela vrata (names of two locations in Marina)...
For this occasion one of the narrow streets becomes a krpas-field and the only rule is that the players must play barefooted..

You can imagine the number of bandages it takes to finish the game...
After the game is finished players, tourists and krpaš fans stay on the street enjoying the food and local wine, singing and dancing on the street till dawn...
The point of the game - keep the doctor busy
Photos from previous years as a decoration of the Krpaš-field...
