As part of Italy’s group, Spain open their Euro 2024 campaign on Saturday, June 14 against a Croatia side packed with past and current Serie A talent. Here’s all you need to know about tickets for the game, where to watch it on TV and streaming, and the confirmed teams.
Spain are among the favourites to lift the trophy in Germany this summer, but are in an extremely tough group along with reigning Champions of Europe Italy, the talented Croatia and potential surprise outfit Albania. Dani Carvajal, Nacho and Joselu represent Champions League winners Real Madrid, while Pedri and Yamine Lamal are exciting new prospects. Rodri is also fresh from another Premier League triumph at Manchester City.
Croatia always churn out new stars despite having a relatively small population compared to many other EURO 2024 competitors. The squad is full of faces familiar to Serie A, including Mario Pasalic of Atalanta, Torino‘s Nikola Vlasic, ex-Inter players Ivan Perisic, Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo Brozovic. They beat Portugal in a pre-tournament friendly and are not to be underestimated.
This opener kicks off at 17.00 UK time, just hours before Italy take on Albania.
