Croatia to face Czech Republic in Nations League opener

The Czech Republic national football team will face Croatia in their opening match of the UEFA Nations League Group A on September 26 in Prague. The match serves as a significant test for the Czech squad against a high-value Croatian roster.

Among Croatia's most valuable players are midfielders Petar Sučič of Inter Milan and Martin Baturina of Como 1907, both valued at approximately 45 million euros. Sučič, a former Bosnia and Herzegovina youth international, has seen his market value rise significantly following his move to Serie A. Baturina is also noted as a key creative talent expected to eventually succeed Luka Modrić in the national team.
