The Croatian national football team is scheduled to host England on October 3rd at Rujevica Stadium in Rijeka and Spain on October 6th at Poljud Stadium in Split as part of the UEFA Nations League. This was announced following a regular meeting of the Executive Board of the Croatian Football Federation (HNS) held in Zagreb, where decisions regarding the venues for these matches were made.

The match against England will be played without spectators due to a UEFA disciplinary sanction, which complicates the experience for fans eager to support their team. Following the home fixtures against England and Spain, Croatia will commence its Nations League campaign with an away match in the Czech Republic on September 26th and will play against Spain in Spain three days later. The upcoming matches hold significant implications for Croatia's performance in the league as they seek to advance to the next round.

In addition to the immediate matches against England and Spain, the Executive Board has outlined Croatia's competition schedule, including a visit to England on November 12th and concluding the group stage at home against the Czech Republic on November 15th. The well-planned series of matches illustrates HNS's commitment to maintaining a competitive edge and engaging with fans, despite the setback of playing without an audience in one of the key fixtures.
