At UEFA’s request, the Croatian Football Federation confirmed that it was ready to take over the organisation of the Final Eight tournament.
Initially, Zagreb would host the tournament, but today the Croatian Football Federation confirmed it will now take place at Krešimir Ćosić Arena in Zadar due to the growing number of COVID-19 cases in Zagreb and the fact that the venue, Arena Zagreb, is being used as a stand-by hospital.
