Croatia at the FIFA World Cup

Common card · No. 295607

The national team of Croatia has competed in the FIFA World Cup seven times, finishing on the podium on three occasions. Since gaining independence in 1991, Croatia has qualified for every edition of the tournament, with the exception of 2010. Croatia's best result since gaining admission into FIFA in 1992 was a runner-up finish in 2018, where they lost the final 4–2 to France. The national side has collected three World Cup medals: two bronze (1998 and 2022) and one silver (2018). Due to its small geography and populace, Croatia is often one of the smallest countries competing in the tournament. They are the second-smallest country by population (after Uruguay) and land mass (after the Netherlands) to reach a World Cup final.
