The Vatreni will be welcomed on the square with a song by the Zaprešić Boys, and in addition to the fan songs, a performance of the anthem 'Moja domovina' is also planned, with the release of thousands of red and white balloons into the air. The welcome for the Croatian national football team is being organized by the City of Zagreb and the 'Budi ponosan' Association, and the director is Krešo Dolenčić.
