Infantino congratulates Šuker and the Vatreni

In a letter addressed to HNS President Davor Šuker, President of football's governing body Gianni Infantino congratulated the Vatreni on their success at the FIFA World Cup.

"I would like to congratulate you once again on this wonderful achievement for Croatian football and express our most sincere appreciation to your National Team for participating in this 21st edition of the FIFA World Cup. The 2018 FIFA World Cup was an unforgettable celebration of football and a major factor in this was the tremendous performance of the Croatian National Team. I personally was very happy and proud to be able to attend in your presence five of your National Team matches, against Nigeria, Denmark, Russia, England and France. Please pass on my compliments to all those who have contributed to this success, the players, the coach Zlatko Dalić, but also the technical and medical team and, of course, the fans. Such achievement is no doubt based on hard work, professionalism and attention to detail, as well as passion and love of the game. All this augurs well for a very promising future and will undoubtedly pave the way for future success," wrote Infantino.
