Croatia vs England in UEFA Nations League Clash
England faces Croatia in a UEFA Nations League fixture. The match is part of the Group A3 schedule, which also features the Czech Republic following the draw held in Brussels. Historically, England holds a strong record against Croatia, winning five of their last seven encounters, including a victory at the 2026 World Cup.
Match Attendance and Restrictions
The away fixture is hosted by Croatia behind closed doors. This empty-stadium restriction is part of a two-game punishment served by the host nation due to crowd trouble and incidents that occurred during their Nations League quarter-final match against France in the previous year. Although visiting Three Lions supporters were initially barred entirely from attending the fixture, England was subsequently permitted to distribute 100 complimentary tickets to fans.
