What to expect at Opus Arena
Opus Arena, also informally known as Stadion Pampas, is a modern football ground in Osijek and is regarded as the newest stadium in Croatia. Opened in July 2023, it is the home of Croatian Football League club NK Osijek and regularly hosts Croatia internationals.
The stadium staged its first competitive match when NK Osijek beat Slaven Belupo 6-1 in an HNL fixture. Croatia played their first official game there in October 2023, losing 1-0 to Turkiye in a Euro 2024 qualifier in front of more than 12,000 supporters.
In September 2026, NK Osijek defeated Dinamo Zagreb 4-2 at the venue. The wider 15.3-hectare complex also includes seven adjoining football training pitches with underground heating, modern player accommodation and a club supporters’ shop.
Croatia have played 17 previous internationals in Osijek, but this will be only their fourth appearance at Opus Arena. Their most recent match there, in July 2025, ended in a 5-1 World Cup qualifying victory over Czechia.
Croatia began this Nations League campaign with an away win against Czechia but then suffered heavy defeats by Spain, 4-1, and England, 7-0. They have conceded in five successive matches. Czechia have not won a competitive match in normal time since beating Gibraltar 6-0 in November 2025 and have not won away since September 2025. Three straight Nations League defeats have extended their winless run to six games.
Croatia remain unbeaten in seven meetings with Czechia, recording four wins and three draws, with 16 goals scored to Czechia’s nine. Croatia won the latest meeting 2-1 at Fortuna Arena in Prague in September. Modric opened the scoring early in the second half, Adam Karabec equalised, and Marko Pasalic secured victory in the 77th minute after an assist from Perisic.
