President Marijan Kustić said the national training center could open in June 2027 if work proceeds to plan, allowing the federation to hold its next Assembly there.
The Croatian Football Federation’s Assembly approved its 2027 work program and financial plan at a regular session in Zagreb. The decision came as construction continued on a national training center in Velika Gorica, intended as a new base for Croatia’s national teams.
Federation president Marijan Kustić said the center would open in June 2027 if everything proceeds according to plan. That would allow the federation, known as HNS, to hold its next Assembly session there, Inside World Football said.
The construction site formally opened in April 2025. In an earlier progress update describing ten months of work, Kustić said the project had met its deadlines and reiterated a target of opening by summer 2027.
HNS said 61 delegates attended the Assembly and 14 were absent. Its adopted financial plan projects a surplus, with revenue exceeding expenditure.
| Measure | Projected amount |
|---|---|
| Revenue | €61,180,500 (about $68.5 million) |
| Expenditure | €53,037,200 (about $59.4 million) |
| Revenue surplus | €8,143,300 (about $9.1 million) |
The center is intended for the senior national team, younger men’s and women’s teams and futsal squads, as well as for training and licensing coaches and referees. It will also house the federation’s new headquarters, bringing its business and sports facilities together at one location for the first time.
Poslovni dnevnik valued the project at more than €35 million and reported that the complex will have four football fields: a main field with a covered stand seating about 1,500 and three training fields.
The Croatian government is contributing €15 million, and HNS, UEFA and FIFA are also helping finance the project. The state donated the site after Velika Gorica designated it for sports and recreation.
Discussing separate stadium projects, Kustić welcomed investment in the new Maksimir in Zagreb, expressed hope for similar investment in Split and said Kranjčevićeva was nearing completion.
