Croatia host England behind closed doors in Nations League

Croatia are scheduled to host England in a UEFA Nations League match in Rijeka on October 3, with kickoff set for 5 p.m. BST. The fixture is to be played almost entirely behind closed doors under a UEFA sanction, though 100 England supporters have been permitted to attend, according to match previews published before kickoff. The match is listed for UK television on ITV1, with live streaming on ITVX. Coverage was scheduled to begin at 4:15 p.m. BST. The available reports are pre-match schedules and previews; they do not establish whether the game went ahead as planned or provide a result. Both teams entered the fixture with three points after two Group A3 matches. England lost 3-2 to Spain before beating Czechia 2-0, while Croatia opened with a 2-1 win over Czechia and then lost 4-1 to Spain. The teams were therefore level on points ahead of their meeting, with Spain reported to be leading the group. The attendance restriction was consistently reported, but accounts differed on the incident behind the UEFA sanction.
