Liga Croata HNL 1944

						1944

 (not finished)
This championship was not finished. As war operations continued 
in the whole territory of Independent State of Croatia, championship
had to be re-organized several times during the season. That caused
so many problems that the championship was finished prematurely.
Croatian FA first decided that HASK is champion, but that decision 
was revoked in January 1945, so there was no champion for 1944 season.
