Ashton and Zach Smith, an American couple from Philadelphia known as the ‘World Cup Couple’, are traveling to Croatia for their honeymoon in early October 2026. The couple gained viral attention after their June 26 wedding was unexpectedly joined by hundreds of Croatian football fans. Following the viral spread of the wedding footage, the Croatian Tourist Board, supported by the ‘Croatian Fans Embassy We Croats’ club and various regional tourism boards, invited the couple to visit. The trip is intended to showcase Croatian culture, gastronomy, and hospitality. The itinerary begins in Split on October 4, where the couple plans to attend a Nations League match between Croatia and Spain at Poljud Stadium. The Smiths have arrived in Split and expressed excitement about their visit, noting plans to visit Klis and Trogir while cheering for the Croatian national team. The visit will also include the surrounding islands and Dubrovnik, concluding in Zagreb on October 12 before their return to Philadelphia. During their travels, the couple visited Šibenik, Primošten, and Krka National Park, and experienced local gastronomy such as oysters in Mali Ston. Following their trip, the couple was honored with the ‘Wedding Crashers Award’ at the Billies awards in Philadelphia. Expressing a deep connection to the country, they announced their intention to name their first child Luka, after the captain of the Croatian national football team, Luka Modrić.
