Euro 2024: Croatia’s matches – when, where and kick-off times

Euro 2024 to feel like a home tournament for Croatia

Many are calling Croatia’s Euro 2024 group the ‘Group of Death’. Croatia was drawn in Group B yesterday alongside Spain, Albania, and Italy.

Coach Zlatko Dalić said that it will be challenging, but he is quietly confident. 

“We are up against the current European champions and the Nations League winners. We have a challenging task ahead, but I believe we can navigate through it, as we’ve done in the past. Our primary goal is to progress from the group stage and secure a spot in the knockout phase. It won’t be easy; we must not underestimate Albania, who showed brilliance in the qualifiers. Opening against Spain in Berlin and facing Italy in what could be a decisive match will be tough, but we are accustomed to such challenges. We have six months to prepare, and I’m optimistic that we can handle it,” Dalić said after the draw. 

With around half a million Croats residing in Germany, there will be no shortage of red and white checkers in the stands when Croatia plays.
