Alexandria soon to be overrun with Croatian soccer hunks

State of play: Croatia's team, aka the Vatreni, will practice at Episcopal High School and stay at The AKA Hotel near Old Town starting in June.

• From ALX, the team will travel to matches in Dallas, Toronto and Philly.

Zoom in: If you want a crash course in the heritage of your future bae (or, you know, just want to celebrate another culture), Alexandria is hosting a Croatian cultural festival along the waterfront June 6.

• Swing by for Croatian music, wine and food.

Plus: In Old Town, wine bar Wine Gallery 108 will offer Croatian wines and tastings, and Old House Cosmopolitan Grill will have a Croatian-inspired menu.

• And keep your eyes peeled around ALX for a DASH bus wrapped in Croatian colors.

Or head into D.C. for a June 17 watch party at Franklin Hall celebrating Croatia's face-off against England cohosted by the Croatian Embassy and the "Slightly Overweight Fathers of Alexandria" group (yep, that's a thing), per a spokesperson.

The intrigue: Unfortunately, Googling "Who is single on the Croatian soccer team" doesn't pull up a list of resources we can share with our eligible readers.

• That means it's up to you, Axios D.C. singletons, to do some hard-hitting, boots-on-the-ground journalism and report back to us.

Flashback: ALX is making a name for itself as a haven for pro-athlete hotties: The city also served as the basecamp for the United Arab Emirates' Al Ain FC team during last year's FIFA Club World Cup.
