A crowd of over 300,000 football supporters greeted the Croatian national team in Zagreb on Monday after they had won the silver medal at the World Cup in Russia.



About 110,000 ecstatic fans gathered in Zagreb's main square to welcome back their heroes and some 200,000 lined the entire 20-kilometre-long route from the airport to the city centre, according to police estimates.

The team touched down at Zagreb airport at 1522 hours and were greeted by the Majorettes, numerous fans and Croatian Air Force personnel with checkered MiG-21 fighter jets.

They then proceeded to the city centre in an open rooftop bus driven by two women drivers dressed in red-and-white checkered jerseys and decorated with Croatian flags. A helicopter displaying the Croatian flag was flying overhead.

Croatia's World Cup runners-up have returned home to a mass greeting in Bana Jelacica Square in Zagreb, a day after losing the World Cup final 4-2 against France.

Luka Modric and Co made it back as heroes after guiding Croatia to their best-ever finish at a World Cup, eclipsing their third-placed finish in 1998.

Thousands of fans packed into the square in Zagreb to try and get a glimpse of their heroes, who were scheduled to appear on stage to acknowledge their supporters on Monday afternoon.

Well deserved.
