Thousands of Croatia supporters transformed downtown Dallas into a sea of red and white on 17 June 2026, ahead of the country's FIFA World Cup group-stage match against England. The celebration featured a parade with cowgirls, horse-drawn wagons, and a 100-metre Croatian flag carried through the city streets. The colourful display underscored the festive atmosphere building in Dallas (a major host city for the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico) as the tournament enters its group stage.
