Croatian Union Files FIFA Protest After World Cup Exit
The Croatian Football Federation officially sent a letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressing their disappointment and strong objection to the refereeing performance and decision-making process during their match against Portugal in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, which ended in a 2-1 loss.
