  • The Croatian national football team's kitchen chief was fired for revealing internal information.
  • He disclosed that the team ordered Croatian wine for their stay in the U.S. for the World Cup.
  • Revealing such details was considered a breach of confidentiality by the hotel and the Croatian Football Federation.

A member of the Croatian national football team's support staff has lost his job after allegedly revealing sensitive information about the team's provisions during their World Cup stay in North America. The individual, identified as the head of the kitchen staff and of Turkish descent, was reportedly dismissed for disclosing that the team had ordered Croatian wine, specifically Plavac Mali and another variety, to be available during their time in the United States. The team is currently based in Alexandria, near Washington, ahead of their first match against England in Dallas on the 17th. According to reports from Sportske novosti, the information about the wine was considered internal and confidential, a detail that should not have been shared with the public. The hotel, in agreement with FIFA and the Croatian Football Federation, had protocols in place to keep such details private. The kitchen chief's alleged breach of this confidentiality led to his immediate termination from his position.
