Šibenik will host Hamburg in ELF's first international match, taking place on August 24. Hamburg Sea Devils will face Madrid Bravos in Šibenik. Stuttgart Surge player Marko Vidacković will not be part of the match, but as a German-Croatian player, he expressed hope to play in Croatia for the first time. Vidacković expressed hope to play in Croatia for the first time in an interview with europeanleague.football. 'Šibenik is a beautiful city in the Dalmatian region of Croatia. The city is close to the sea and has a unique old town. Walking along the Riviera in the evening and enjoying a good meal is always a good choice. There are also many offshore islands with beautiful beaches along the coast. It is a very popular city for tourists and I recommend anyone who has never been to Croatia to spend time there in the summer.', said Vidacković. 'Definitely. As you can see in soccer, Croatians are very passionate about the sport. Football has grown a lot in Europe in recent years and there is basically the same potential in Croatia. It is important to get Football into the minds of children in Croatia so that they become interested in this sport. The international match in Šibenik will definitely be a success, and I think that the atmosphere at the game will also be very good because Croatian fans are very energetic. In the future, I think, there should also be a Football franchise in Croatia, which would really be a big step forward for the sport. There would certainly be enough players who would want to play for a team in Croatia. A Croatian franchise for the ELF would be really cool and hopefully it will happen at some point in the future.
