WELCOME

Dragi prijatelji nogometa, u ime Hrvatskog nogometnog saveza želim vam dobrodošlicu u Rijeku i na stadion HNK Rijeka uoči nastavka Europskih kvalifikacija za EURO 2024 i utakmice Hrvatska - Latvija.

Nakon nezaboravnog FIFA Svjetskog prvenstva u Kataru, gdje je Hrvatska osvojila brončanu medalju, u novi kvalifikacijski ciklus ušli smo puni

Dear friends of football,

on behalf of the Croatian Football Federation, I welcome you to the city of Rijeka and the HNK Rijeka Stadium, as we continue our EURO 2024 qualifying campaign with the match against Latvia.

Following the unforgettable FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where Croatia won the bronze medal, we

optimizma i vjere u našu reprezentaciju. I što je najbitnije, s briljantnim kapetanom Lukom Modrićem koji nastavlja svoj put s Vatrenima i, kao i uvijek, utire svojim ponašanjem i odnosom prema reprezentaciji put mladima koji dolaze.

A baš to je zaštitni znak momčadi koja je, najprije osvajanjem bronce u Kataru, a onda i srebra na završnom turniru Lige nacija, nastavila trend kolosalnih rezultatskih ostvarenja: sjajan spoj mladih igrača koji su gordo zakoračili na veliku scenu i naših "senatora” s iskustvom pobjeđivanja velikih utakmica. Najljepša je spoznaja što i stariji i mlađi igrači imaju jednaku strast prema pobjeđivanju i ponos što predstavljaju Hrvatsku - to je taj kult reprezentacije koji se uspješno prenosi iz generacije u generaciju. Uz izvrsno vođenje izbornika Zlatka Dalića i njegov vrhunski stožer naša svlačionica uistinu diše kao #obitelj.

Pred nama je prvi od dvaju rujanskih kvalifikacijskih ispita koje dočekujemo s dokazano uspješnom, uigranom i kvalitetnom momčadi, a uvjeren sam da imamo i ogroman motiv. Naime, pred nama je EURO u Njemačkoj, a s obzirom na broj navijača Hrvatske koji bismo tamo mogli očekivati, siguran sam da bi svim igračima bilo ispunjenje sna nastupati za Hrvatsku uz takvu podršku.

Naravno, pritom imamo veliko poštovanje prema našim suparnicima u skupini, u ovom slučaju prema Latviji. Njezinim igračima, stručnom stožeru, službenoj delegaciji i navijačima želim dobrodošlicu i ugodan boravak u Rijeci.

Svim navijačima hrvatske reprezentacije zahvaljujem na podršci Vatrenima te vas pozivam da zajedno uživamo u novom nogometnom spektaklu, uz fer i korektno navijanje!

Sretno Hrvatska!

have dived into the new qualifying campaign full of optimism, with utmost trust in our national team. Most importantly, with brilliant team captain Luka Modrić who continues on his path with the Vatreni, with his behaviour and approach incessantly paving the way for the young players who join this Croatia squad.

This is exactly the trademark of this team that won the bronze medal in Qatar and the silver medal at the UEFA Nations League Finals, that continues to amaze with its achievements: a great combination of youngsters, bravely setting foot at the biggest of stages, and our "senators", experienced in winning crucial games. The best thing is that both the young and experienced players feel the same passion for winning, and the pride of representing Croatia - this is the national team cult passed on from generation to generation. With extraordinary management of head coach Zlatko Dalić and his excellent staff, Croatia truly breathes as one #family.

We await the first of the two September challenges in the EURO 2024 qualifiers with a successful, harmonized team full of quality, and I am convinced we do have a magnificent motivation. As EURO 2024 is hosted by Germany, we can expect a huge number of Croatia fans, and I'm sure that all the players dream of playing for Croatia with that kind of support.

Of course, we do respect our opponents in the qualifying group, this time the Latvian team. I welcome Latvia players, coaching staff, official delegation, and supporters to Rijeka, and wish them all a pleasant stay.

I would like to thank all the Croatia fans for their support for the Vatreni, and let us enjoy this football festivity together, cheering Croatia on in the spirit of fair-play!

Best of luck to Croatia!

DOBRODOŠLI

KRAMARIĆ: "Riječani

su uvijek znali napraviti sjajnu atmosferu"

Hrvatska nogometna reprezentacija utakmicom protiv Latvije u Rijeci nastavlja svoj put u kvalifikacijskom ciklusu za Europsko prvenstvo iduće godine u Njemačkoj. Prvi je to od dvaju rujanskih kvalifikacijskih ispita, poslije dvoboja s Latvijcima slijedi gostovanje u Armeniji.

Rijeci se uvijek rado vraća Andrej Kramarić, napadački adut Vatrenih koji je u gradu na Rječini doživio veliki “krešendo” svoje nogometne karijere koja je u razdoblju što je

Croatia national football team is ready to continue its EURO 2024 qualifying campaign, hosting Latvia in Rijeka. It is the first of the two September qualifiers, as it is followed by a visit to Armenia.

Andrej Kramarić is always happy to be back in Rijeka, the city where he experienced the crescendo of his club career, that later peaked in the incredible heights. Besides being one of the top Bundesliga goalscorers in Hoffenheim shirt, Kramarić managed to win a FIFA World Cup silver and bronze with Croatia, alongside a UEFA Nations League silver medal.

CROATIA'S ATTACKING LEVERAGE

uslijedilo poprimila neslućene razmjere. Osim što već godinama u dresu Hoffenheima ima zapaženu ulogu na bundesligaškoj golgeterskoj sceni, Andrej je vrhunac svog nogometnog kurikuluma doživio osvajanjem srebra i bronce s Hrvatskom na dvama uzastopnim svjetskim prvenstvima, odnosno osvajanjem srebra na završnom turniru Lige nacija.

“Naravno da mi uvijek drago doći u Rijeku u kojoj sam proveo nezaboravno razdoblje svog nogometnog života i stekao velik broj prijatelja. Rijeka je bila odskočna daska u mojoj nogometnoj karijeri, to je nešto što se ne zaboravlja. Drago mi je da se i mene Riječani uvijek rado sjećaju i da sam im ostao u lijepoj uspomeni. Osjećam to svaki put kad s reprezentacijom dođem u Rijeku, to se, vjerujem, nikad neće promijeniti”, ističe Andrej Kramarić, koji će se, kao i ostatak Vatrenih, predstaviti riječkoj publici prvi put poslije osvajanja srebrne medalje u Ligi nacija.

“Svi bismo više voljeli da smo se iz Nizozemske vratili sa zlatom oko vrata, ali tako je to u nogometu.

Taj put sreća nije bila

"Of course I'm always happy to return to Rijeka, it was an unforgettable period of my life and I have many friends here. Rijeka was the stepping stone in my career, and it remains a lifelong memory. I'm happy that Rijeka remembers me fondly, I feel it every time Croatia returns to Rijeka, and I believe it will never change", highlights Kramarić, who will play in front of the home crowd for the first time following the UEFA Nations League final. "We would all prefer to return with a gold medal from the Netherlands, but that's football. The luck wasn't at our side, the penalty shootout brought joy to Spain, but that doesn't diminish the impression that we've done a great job in the UEFA Nations League. First, we recovered from the defeat against Austria, with excellent results, and that performed well at the final tournament. I'm happy that we have confirmed our quality in a major competition once again, and proved to the entire world that Croatia is a football powerhouse. I believe we can continue to ride that wave in the upcoming period".

na našoj strani, rulet jedanaesteraca pripao je Španjolcima, ali to ne umanjuje dojam da smo u zadnjem izdanju Lige nacija napravili sjajne stvari. Najprije ona serija odličnih rezultata u skupini poslije uvodnog poraza od Austrije, a onda i sjajni nastupi na završnom turniru. Drago mi je da smo još jednom potvrdili kvalitetu na velikoj sceni i cijelom svijetu dokazali da je Hrvatska postala nogometna velesila. Vjerujem da ćemo taj trend nastaviti i u razdoblju što slijedi”.

A Vatrenima slijedi nastavak kvalifikacijskog ciklusa što donosi dvoboje s Latvijom i Armenijom.

“Ne bih volio da zvuči kao otrcana fraza, ali danas u nogometu stvarno nema laganih protivnika. Naravno da je naša kvaliteta u odnosu na Latviju i Armeniju puno veća, ali to moramo potvrditi na terenu. Poslije naših sjajnih rezultata u posljednje vrijeme svjesni smo da je svakome želja pobijediti Hrvatsku, a na nama je da svaku utakmicu shvatimo maksimalno ozbiljno i opravdamo ulogu favorita. Lijepo je da smo opet na okupu i da smo željni novih izazova, uvjeren sam da ćemo rujanske ispite odraditi na najvećoj mogućoj razini”.

Ulog je prilično velik uzme li se u obzir da je domaćin Europskog prvenstva Njemačka u kojoj se očekuje velik broj naših navijača.

Croatia awaits Latvia and Armenia encounters in the EURO 2024 qualifying campaign.

"I don't want to sound shabby, but there really are no easy opponents in modern football. Surely, Croatia has more quality than Latvia or Armenia, but we have to prove it on the field of play. Following our success, everybody wants to defeat Croatia, and our objective has to remain to approach every game seriously and justify our role of favourites. It's nice to be back together again, and we look forward to new challenges. I am convinced we'll be at our best level this September".

The stakes are high, as the EURO 2024 is hosted by Germany, and many Croatia supporters are ready to travel.

«People are already asking for tickets, I can only imagine how this will look like as we approach the EURO 2024. We are highly motivated and aware that many fans want to support us in Germany. In Rotterdam, we have seen what it means to have an extra player due to the support in the stands. The fans were spectacular there, and it can only get better in Germany. Therefore, we have to stay focused and successfully finish this qualifying campaign".

KRAMARIĆ

“Već sad me svi pitaju za ulaznice, mogu misliti što će tek biti kad se prvenstvo bude približavalo. Imamo veliki motiv plasirati se na Euro, svjesni da će nas u Njemačkoj bodriti velik broj naših navijača. Već smo u Nizozemskoj osjetili što to znači kad je na tribinama naš dvanaesti igrač, navijanje je na završnom turniru Lige nacija bilo uistinu spektakularno, svjesni smo da će biti još bolje u Njemačkoj. Baš zato moramo biti maksimalno fokusirani na nastavak kvalifikacijskog ciklusa kako bismo ostvarili zacrtan cilj”.

Podrške s tribina neće nedostajati niti na Rujevici.

“Riječani su uvijek znali napraviti sjajnu atmosferu, nekad na kultnoj Kantridi, a danas na Rujevici. Siguran sam da će stadion protiv Latvije biti ispunjen do posljednjeg mjesta i da će ozračje na tribinama biti fantastično. Radujem se utakmici i jedva čekam da počne. Naš je cilj u ove dvije rujanske utakmice osvojiti šest bodova i od njega ne bježimo, ali svjesni smo da ćemo ga ostvariti samo ako svatko od nas da maksimum na terenu. To je jedini recept”, zaključio je Kramarić.

At Rujevica Stadium, there won't be any lack of support.

«The fans in Rijeka have always created a great atmosphere, at the iconic Kantrida Stadium as well as modern Rujevica. I'm sure that it will be a sold-out game, and that the atmosphere will be fantastic. I'm looking forward to this match, I can hardly wait for the kick-off. Our objective is to win both September qualifiers, that's no secret, yet we are aware that the only way is to give our best on the pitch. That the only possible recipe", concludes Kramarić.

PRVI

Premijerna utakmica nogometnih reprezentacija Hrvatske i Latvije odigrana je na osječkom Gradskom vrtu, u ožujku 2001. godine u sklopu kvalifikacija za Svjetsko prvenstvo u Japanu i Južnoj Koreji, a obilježio ju je hat-trick Boška Balabana. U sudačkoj nadoknadi jedan je pogodak dodao Davor Vugrinec, a jedini strijelac za goste bio je Andrejs Štolcers. Hrvatska vrata u tom je susretu čuvao sadašnji tehnički direktor A i U-21 reprezentacije Stipe Pletikosa.

PAMTIMO

U istom kvalifikacijskom ciklusu, za SP 2002. godine, samo tri mjeseca nakon osječkog slavlja, Latvijci su ponovno dobro zapamtili Boška Balabana. Okršaj u Rigi bio je neizvjesniji, ali hrvatski je napadač u 40 minuti vrlo lijepim volejem odlučio utakmicu u korist Vatrenih, pogodivši za konačnih 1:0. Zanimljivo, latvijski strijelac iz Osijeka, Štolcers, u ovom je dvoboju isključen.

POSLJEDNJI

Na kraju turbulentnih kvalifikacija za Europsko prvenstvo u Poljskoj i Ukrajini, Vatreni su u listopadu 2011. godine na Kantridi svladali Latviju 2:0, no nisu uspjeli preskočiti Grčku te su morali u dodatne kvalifikacije. Riječku pobjedu osigurali su Eduardo i Mandžukić svojim pogocima sredinom drugog poluvremena, a i u toj je utakmici, deset godina nakon prvog susreta s Latvijom, na hrvatskim vratima stajaoStipe Pletikosa. Bila je to četvrta pobjeda Hrvatske u četiri sraza s Latvijcima.

CRO vs. LVA 4 4 0 0 10:1

FIRST

Croatia's first encounter with Latvia national football team was played at Gradski vrt Stadium in Osijek, in March 2001, in the FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. The highlight was Boško Balaban's hat-trick, with Davor Vugrinec adding one in added time, while Andrejs Štolcers found the net for the visitors. Croatia goalie in this match was the current technical director of the A and U-21 national teams, Stipe Pletikosa.

MEMORABLE

In the same qualifying campaign, for the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea, Croatia visited Latvia just three months later. And it was another memorable moment from Boško Balaban that decided the winner. In a more evenly contested match, Croatia's striker volleyed home on 40 minutes, to secure an important 1:0 victory. Interestingly, Latvia's goalscorer from Osijek, Štolcers, was sent off in this match.

RECENT

Croatia closed a turbulent EURO 2012 qualifying group stage in October 2011 at Kantrida Stadium in Rijeka, defeating Latvia 2:0, but still failed to leapfrog Greece at the topSlaven Bilić's men were heading into the play-offs. Eduardo and Mandžukić were on target in the second half. Ten years following Croatia's first meeting with Latvia, Croatia's goal was once again guarded by Stipe Pletikosa. This was Croatia's fourth victory in four encounters with Latvia.

KRISTERS TOBERS

Latvijski kapetan 22godišnji je defenzivac koji od ovog ljeta brani boje švicarskog Grasshoppera, a inozemno je iskustvo već prikupio u redovima poljske Lechije iz Gdanska. U svojoj prvoj utakmici s kapetanskom trakom postigao je i prvi pogodak za seniorsku reprezentaciju, protiv Turske.

VLADISLAVS GUTKOVSKIS

Vođa latvijskog napada ima 28 godina, a u dosadašnja 43 nastupa za svoju zemlju postigao je 11 pogodaka. U ljetnom prijelaznom roku preselio je u Južnu Koreju, a prošle je sezone sudjelovao u povijesnom osvajanju naslova prvaka u Poljskojnosio je dres Rakowa iz Czestochowe, zajedno s Franom Tudorom i Zoranom Arsenićem.

ROBERTS ULDRIKIS

Prvi Gutkovskisov suradnik u napadačkim redovima

Latvije kapetan je nizozemskog Cambuura, koji na svom golgeterskom kontu ima sedam

reprezentativnih pogodaka, uključujući i jedan u gostujućem remiju s Turskom (3:3) u kvalifikacijama za Svjetsko prvenstvo u Kataru.

The team captain is the 22-year-old versatile defender, who joined Swiss side Grasshoppers this summer, while his experience abroad includes Lechia Gdansk. In his first international appearance with the armband, he managed to score his first goal for Latvia, against Turkey.

The leader of Latvian attack is 28 years old, and in his 43 appearances managed to score 11 goals. This summer, he moved to South Korea, following the historic league campaign of new Polish champions Rakow Czestochowa, where he played alongside Fran Tudor and Zoran Arsenić.

Gutkovskis' first mate in attack is the captain of Dutch side Cambuur. In Latvia shirt, he scored seven times, including one away at Turkey (3:3), in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

JANIS IKAUNIEKS

Ofenzivni vezni latvijske reprezentacije s 12 je pogodaka za nacionalnu vrstu među najboljim strijelcima ove generacije, a u svom debiju 2014. godine protiv Turske izjednačio je rekord Marisa Verpakovskisa kao najmlađi debitant u povijesti svoje države. Član je RFS-a, a u latvijskoj reprezentaciji igra i njegov stariji brat, Davis Ikaunieks iz češkog Jabloneca.

ROBERTS SAVALNIEKS

Prijeko potrebno iskustvo Latviji donosi 30-godišnji desni branič RFS-a, koji iza sebe ima već preko 50 utakmica u nacionalnom dresu, a pritom je upisao i dva pogotka. Klupsku je karijeru uvelike vezao za Liepajas Metalurgs i RFS.

Head coach: DAINIS KAZAKEVIČS

Aktualni izbornik latvijske nogometne reprezentacije s Jelgavom je 2009. godine osvojio drugoligaško natjecanje, potom i domaći kup, a po odlasku iz kluba sedam je godina obnašao dužnost izbornika Latvije U21. U siječnju 2020. godine naslijedio je Slavišu Stojanoviča na mjestu izbornika seniora.

This attacking midfielder is one of the top goalscorers of this generation, with 12 goals to his name. In his first international appearance, he has equalled Maris Verpakovskis' record at the youngest player ever in Latvia jersey. He plays for RFS, and an interesting fact - his older brother, Davis Ikaunieks from Jablonec, also plays for the national team.

Much-needed experince to Latvian squad is brought by 30-yea old right-back from RFS. He has already collected over 50 games in Latvia shirt, and scored two goals. His club carrer was mostly related to Metalurgs and RFS.

The current head coach of the Latvian national team has secured Jelgava's promotion to the top domestic tier in 2009, and then won the Latvian Cup Following his departure from the club, he enjoyed a sevenyear spell as the Latvian U21 head coach. In January 2020, he succeeded Slaviša Stojanovič as the head coach of the senior squad
