The match will be broadcast live on beIN SPORTS 1, with kick-off scheduled for 6 p.m. Spanish time. This epic clash is set to take place at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany.
Spain, a team with a rich history in European championships, aims to capture its fourth European title. The team boasts a stellar lineup featuring the likes of Dani Carvajal, Rodri, and Yamal. Under the guidance of coach Luis de la Fuente, Spain's squad blends seasoned veterans like Jesús Navas and rookies such as Pedri to create a competitive edge.
On the other side, Croatia, led by the evergreen Luka Modric, will not make things easy for Spain. Despite the golden generation of Croatian football being past its prime, emerging talents like Gvardiol, Majer, and Ivanusec pledge a challenging match.
Spain's Path in Euro 2024
Spain is set to navigate a formidable group, featuring Italy, Croatia, and Albania. The team’s first match against Croatia promises a spectacle filled with intense competition and high stakes. Following this, Spain will face Italy on June 20th at Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen, and then Albania on June 24th at Düsseldorf Arena.
The team, which last claimed the Euro title in 2012, is eager to reclaim its glory. If Spain tops its group, it will play in the round of 16 on June 30th against the third team in Group A/D. Finishing second would see them face the second in Group A on June 29th, while a third-place finish could still keep them in the competition if they are among the best third-placed teams.
Key Players to Watch
Spain's squad for Euro 2024 is a mix of youth and experience. Key players include Nacho, who is making a return to the national team, and Unai Simón, who holds the primary goalkeeper spot.
