England's match against Croatia in the Nations League on Saturday will be played behind closed doors in Rijeka. The game will take place in front of a reduced crowd in the same venue in which the two sides met, also behind closed doors, in a 0-0 draw in October 2018.
The limited capacity is because of crowd disturbances involving Croatia fans during a Nations League match against France in March 2025. Seven fans were taken into custody on suspicion of making Nazi salutes during the match, and released without prosecution because of a lack of evidence. In their section of Stade de France, where that match took place, Croatia supporters also set off fireworks.
On top of that, Croatia were also prohibited from having travelling supporters in their 2-1 win in the Czech Republic last Saturday.
