Croatia wrap up their 2025 UEFA Nations League group campaign at home to Czechia on Sunday, 15 November, at Opus Arena in Osijek, and tickets go on general sale this week. Advance prices run from €30 to €65 between 27 October and 14 November, rising slightly on match day if anything is left.
The tiering is straightforward: Category 1 seats in the central sections of the west and east stands cost €65 in advance (€70 on the day), Category 2 side sections are €55 (€60), and Category 3 places behind the goals in the north and south stands are €30 (€35). Online sales open at 14:00 on Tuesday, 27 October via the Croatian Football Federation's official portal, with in-person sales at three Petrol stations in Osijek from 16:00 the same day — PM Strossmayerova sjever on Josipa Jurja Strossmayera 356, PM Divaltova on Ulica kneza Trpimira 18A, and PM Mandićeva on Ulica svetog Leopolda Bogdana Mandića 20. Station purchases yield a confirmation with a QR code rather than a paper ticket; you scan it, link an email address and verify it to receive your ticket.
A few rules worth knowing before you plan a trip around the game. Every ticket is digital — the HNS Ulaznice mobile app is the only way in, with printed and print-at-home tickets scrapped entirely. Buyers must be Croatian citizens regardless of where they live, must submit personal details for every person they're buying for, and can purchase a maximum of four tickets each. Sales run until kick-off or sell-out.
For football travellers, Osijek makes a genuinely interesting base. Croatia's fourth city sits in the eastern Slavonia region on the Drava River, with a handsome Austro-Hungarian core in Tvrđa — the old fortress district — plus a growing food and coffee scene that surprises most first-time visitors. Mid-November is cold and often grey, but hotel prices are low and you'll have the city's bars largely to yourself outside match hours. If you're coming for the game, build in a day or two: Vukovar and the Danube wine region around Ilok are an easy drive away, and Zagreb is roughly three hours by train or car.
One caveat for international fans: with sales restricted to Croatian citizens, travellers without Croatian citizenship won't be able to buy through this channel, so this one is mainly relevant to the diaspora or anyone with Croatian nationality planning a November trip home around the match. For everyone else, it's still a useful marker of how Croatian international fixtures are priced and ticketed — increasingly app-based, with personal data required per seat — ahead of future home games you may be eligible for.
Osijek's Opus Arena is modern and compact at around 13,000 seats, so Category 3 tickets at €30 are the smart buy for atmosphere near the ultras end. Whichever category you choose, remember the app is non-negotiable: download HNS Ulaznice before match day and watch for the email explaining when your ticket lands in it.
