A CROATIAN court said today it had sentenced eight football fans to jail terms of up to two months for glorifying the country’s World War II pro-Nazi regime at a Euro 2024 qualifier.  

Twelve people were arrested at the weekend on suspicion of singing songs about the Ustasha regime at Croatia’s 1-0 defeat to Turkey last week in the eastern town of Osijek.
