Spain and Croatia to Renew Rivalry in Euro 2024 Opener

Spain and Croatia, the finalists of the 2023 UEFA Nations League, will renew their rivalry on Saturday in their opening match of the Euro 2024 campaign.

The two teams played out an exciting 5-3 clash in 2021, with Spain emerging victorious. Now they will meet again in a match that could have a significant impact on the outcome of Group C.

Spain will be looking to continue their impressive form from the Nations League, where they went undefeated in the group stage and beat Croatia in the semi-finals. Croatia will be hoping to bounce back from their loss in the semi-finals but will need to produce a much better performance if they want to beat Spain.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 CET on Saturday, March 25, 2023, at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.
