USA to meet Croatia at Fulham's Craven Cottage

The USA national team will take on Croatian in an international friendly in London in November.

Croatian Football Federation president Davor Suker announced that the Niko Kovac's Croatian side will meet Juergen Klinsmann's US outfit at Craven Cottage, the home of Fulham FC, on November 12.

The match will hold great significance for Croatians as their first-ever match as an independent nation came against the USA in October 1990.

"I am extremely glad to have reached an agreement with my colleagues from US Soccer," read Suker's statement on the federation's official website.

"We are all aware what the 1990 match signified for Croatia and Croatian football. Nearly a quarter of a century later, USA has an excellent squad, their football is expanding and this encounter will promote both US and Croatian football."
