  "account": "England's upcoming Nations League match against Croatia in Croatia has been announced to be held behind closed doors. The host nation has been serving a two-game punishment due to crowd trouble during their quarter-final against France last year. This decision also prompted Croatia to receive a hefty fine, and they were required to play their next home and away matches without spectators. The Croatian Football Federation confirmed that the ban on supporters would apply to the England match on October 3. Despite this, England fans have been granted 100 complimentary tickets, and about 3,000-6,000 Croatian students will also be allowed to attend the game at Stadion HNK Riejka. England's previous Nations League campaign saw them win against Spain and Czechia. Following their match against Croatia, England will host the Czech Republic on October 6 and then travel to host Croatia on November 12 before facing Spain away on November 15. The knockout stages of the Nations League are scheduled for the following year.",
