Croatia to visit Northern Ireland in November

Northern Ireland friendly encounter with the Vatreni is scheduled at Windsor Park at 20:45 CET.

FIFA Rankings put Northern Ireland at No. 30, and the team has also reached the EURO 2016 Round of 16.

Croatia has never faced Northern Ireland before, and this Belfast meeting will therefore be a first, historic occasion.

Ante Čačić's men visit Kosovo and Finland in October qualifiers, while on 12 November, three days before facing Northern Ireland, host Iceland in another World Cup qualifier.
