Hungary to host Croatia in March

Croatia's international friendly with Hungary is scheduled for Saturday, 26 March, at newly-built Groupama Arena in Budapest, second largest stadium in the country.

Both teams will test their form ahead of upcoming European Championships in France, with the kick-off at 18:00 hours.

Hungary was drawn into EURO 2016 Group F with Portugal, Iceland and Austria, while Croatia awaits Group D encounters with Spain, Czech Republic and Turkey.

Croatia and Hungary already met twice in competitive matches, in FIFA 2006 World Cup qualifiers. Croatia won 3:0 in Zagreb, with the match in Budapest finishing goalless.

Moreover, Croatia has two friendly victories over Hungary (4:1 in Osijek, 1996 and 2:0 in Pecs, 2002), while two friendlies ended in a draw (2:2 in Györ, 1994 and 1:1 in Budapest, 2008).
