1 March 2020 – The Croatian national team will take part in the Qatar Airways International Tournament in Doha this month and on Sunday the Croatian Football Federation notified fans regarding ticket sales. 

The Qatar capital will host the 4-team international tournament which along with World Cup runners-up Croatia, features world No. 1 Belgium, current Euro champions Portugal and Switzerland. All four teams are also taking part in Euro 2020 in the summer.  

Croatia will face Switzerland in the first match of the tournament on 26 March (7:30 pm local time). The next match for Zlatko Dalic’s side will be on 30 March when they take on Portugal (8:30 pm local time). 

It will be the first time Croatia has played in Qatar, the country that will host the FIFA World Cup at the end of 2022, and both matches will be played at the spectacular Education City Stadium.

“Tickets for both ‘Vatreni’ matches can be purchased on the official website of the tournament, with sales starting Sunday, March 1st. The following ticket categories are available: Category 1 priced at 50 Qatari riyal and Category 2 priced at 20 Qatari riyal and a hospitality package priced at 200 Qatari riyal,” HNS said.

Tickets for boxes are available at a price of 500 Qatari riyal per box, and only the entire capacity of individual boxes can be leased:
