Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the highly anticipated friendly between Croatia and Belgium, scheduled for this Tuesday, as both teams ramp up their preparations for the 2026 World Cup, set to take place in North America with 48 teams participating.

Croatia hosts Belgium this Tuesday in a friendly match as both squads gear up for the 2026 World Cup.

The Red Devils travel to Rijeka to take on the Vatreni at Rujevica Stadium. Kick-off is set for 16:00 GMT.

With less than two weeks before the World Cup kicks off, both teams are looking to fine-tune their tactics and assess their squad’s fitness before the real action begins.

This clash also carries extra significance, as the two nations last faced off at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar—a match that ended in a goalless stalemate (0-0).

The head-to-head record between these two sides is perfectly balanced. Out of nine encounters so far, Croatia and Belgium have each claimed three victories, with the remaining three matches ending in draws.
