HNS strongly advises all supporters to exercise extreme caution when purchasing tickets. Fans are urged not to access sales pages through suspicious links found on social media, advertisements, or unofficial messages. The federation emphasizes that all official information regarding ticket sales is exclusively published through HNS's official communication channels and its website.

To ensure security, fans are recommended to access the ticket purchasing portal solely through the official HNS ticket portal. The Croatian Football Federation has taken necessary steps and reported the issue of fake websites to the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Croatia. They reiterate the call for vigilance, urging fans not to enter personal or bank card details on unverified sites and to rely only on official HNS sources for ticket information.

We once again call on fans to be careful, not to enter personal data or bank card details on sites whose authenticity they cannot confirm, and to obtain information about ticket sales exclusively through official channels of the Croatian Football Federation.
