Croatian police arrested dozens of football fans for fighting after the UEFA Nations League match between Croatia and Poland, the country’s interior ministry said on Monday.

There was another fight elsewhere later on between Polish and the host fans, it added, without giving details of the location.

“Dozens of people have been detained and the criminal investigation is ongoing,” the ministry said on social media.

The authorities did not say exactly how many Polish nationals had been arrested.

At least five fans were also detained in Osijek before the Group A1 match for fighting in which a Polish national was injured.
