Croatia complete both their 2026 international campaign and their UEFA Nations League group phase schedule on home turf when they take on Czechia in Osijek on Sunday, November 15. If you fancy seeing Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic and Co. in action, you can book match tickets today.
After taking to the pitch in Rijeka against England and in Split to play the world champions, Spain, earlier in the UEFA Nations League campaign, Slaven Bilić's boys now hope to finish with a flourish in the economic and cultural hub of the eastern Croatian region of Slavonia.
Although Croatia have played 17 previous internationals in Osijek, this will only be the fourth time the 'Vatreni' have appeared at the Opus Arena. Their most recent encounter at the venue took place in July 2025 and it will bring back fond memories for the Croat stars (not so much so for the Czech ones). On that occasion, the Osijek crowd were left in raptures as Croatia stormed to a 5-1 success over Czechia during a World Cup qualifier.
