Doha, 18 November (QNA) - The Croatian national team delegation arrived in Doha today to participate in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 finals, which kick off the day after tomorrow, Sunday.

The delegation includes the team's stars, led by captain Luka Modric, star of Spanish Real Madrid; Ivan Perisic, player of English Tottenham Hotspur; Mateo Kovacic, midfielder of English Chelsea; and Marcelo Brozovic, player of Italian Inter Milan.

Before heading to Doha, the Croatian national team played a friendly match against the Saudi national team on Wednesday, the day before yesterday, winning 1-0 with a goal by Andrej Kramaric.

The Croatian national team, which is competing in Group F alongside Belgium, Canada, and Morocco, hopes to reach advanced stages of the tournament, similar to what it did in the 2018 Russia World Cup when it reached the final, which it lost to the French national team.

Croatia begins its campaign in the tournament against Morocco on 23 November, then meets Canada on 27, and concludes its group stage matches against Belgium on 1 December.
