Consul General of Croatia Nikica Kopačević presented Mayor Adams with the official jersey of our football team.

“Since the first ship from Croatia came to New York in 1797, many Croats have found their home here. They brought here their Central European diligence and Mediterranean passion,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
