Croatia Record in Previous World Cups:
Croatia have only competed in the World Cup six times in the past, but they have exceeded expectations in each of the last two World Cups. They lost in the semi-final in 2022 to eventual winners Argentina, and were runners up in 2018, as Croatia lost to France in the final. They also made it to the semi-final stage in 1998 and failed to progress past the group stage in their other three appearances. It would be impressive if Croatia can progress deep into the 2026 World Cup, given they have several ageing players in their roster, including Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic.
