Čeferin will be in Zagreb on 20 December where he will meet with officials from the Croatian Football Federation, as well as the nation’s Prime Minister Andrej Plenković.
Čeferin was elected President of UEFA in September 2016, replacing Michel Platini after the Frenchman was banned from football administration for conflict of interest by the FIFA Ethics Committee.
Čeferin is coming to Croatia on the invitation of Croatian Football Federation President Davor Šuker and it will be one of the first destinations he will visit in his new role.
