Emil Urch (18 July 1911 – 24 June 1980), nicknamed Urec, was a Croatian footballer who played as a goalkeeper and made two appearances for the Croatia national team. He also occasionally played as a forward for NK Jaska, in addition to his usual role as goalkeeper.[1] He later worked as a manager for lower-division clubs in Zagreb.[2]
Urch made his international debut for the Independent State of Croatia, a World War II-era puppet state of Nazi Germany, on 5 April 1942 in a friendly match against Italy, which finished as a 0–4 loss in Genoa. He earned his second and final cap six days later on 11 April in a friendly match against Bulgaria, which finished as a 0–6 loss in Zagreb.[3]
Urch died on 24 June 1980 at the age of 69.
