The Croatia–Italy football rivalry, also known as the Derby Adriatico, is a football rivalry between the national football teams of Croatia and Italy. Croatia has not lost against Italy since 1942, with most of the fixtures played in qualifications and at tournaments. At the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Croatia came from behind to beat Italy 2–1 in a controversial game, after two Italian goals were disallowed. During the Euro 2016 qualifying phase, Croatia and Italy played each other twice, drawing both times. The first match was marred by crowd trouble due to flares being thrown onto the pitch, which also occurred when the two teams met at the UEFA Euro 2012.
