The World Cup 2022 and the penalties in the Croatia-Brazil were a break from the proceedings of the Summit for the President of the Republic, Nicos Anastasiasis and the other EUMED-9 leaders.
In particular, Nicos Anastasiades, together with Andrej Plenkovic (Prime Minister of Croatia), Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Emmanuel Macron, Pedro Sanchez, Antonio Tajani (replacing Giorgia Meloni) and the other leaders of the countries of the European South, watched the soul-crushing penalty shoot-out in the first quarter-final of the World Cup in Qatar, which earned Croatia qualification for the semi-finals of the World Cup.

Croatia's prime minister celebrated wildly his country's qualification to the World Cup semi-finals, with President Anastasiades and other leaders congratulating Andrei Plenkovic.
The excitement over Croatia's qualification was not hidden within the session with the Greek Prime Minister even commenting on Croatia's qualification over Brazil during his speech.
In particular, Kyriakos Mitsotakis offered his congratulations to his Croatian counterpart and remarked in a humorous manner that "European strategic autonomy in football already seems to be confirmed".
