Icelandic coach Dagur Sigurdsson is on a mission to “Make Croatia Great Again,” and the perfect place to achieve this is on home court at the World Championship 2024, which starts on January 14.

Croatia will play at Arena Zagreb all their matches with possible quarter-final and semi-final clash which can lead them to final encounter in Danish Herning.

Sigurdsson has announced 22 names for the last phase of preparation. On the list is not RK Zagreb goalkeeper Matej Mandic, who is still recovering from checkbone injury, but if he gets “green light” from the medical staff, he could be on the final list.
