their excellent recent record at the finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Runners-up to France in Russia in 2018, Zlatko Dajic&#8217;s side followed that up with an impressive third-place finish in Qatar four years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also semi-finalists in 1998, that is not a bad return from six previous appearances at the tournament. The evergreen Luka Modric is set for what will surely be his World Cup swansong, while fellow veteran Ivan Perisic also brings plenty of pedigree to the ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Croatia route to the World Cup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, Croatia cruised to World Cup qualification this time round, maintaining an unbeaten record for the third time overall, but the first time since the 2006 qualifying cycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zlatko Dalic&#8217;s men endured a couple of hiccups along the way, most notably going 1-0 down at home to the Faroe Islands before eventually winning 3-1, and only beating the same opponent 1-0 way from home earlier in the campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, on the whole, Croatia were very impressive, asserting their authority as the group&#8217;s dominant team, and standing as the only team to stop second-placed Czech Republic from winning at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Croatia World Cup 2026 fixtures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, Croatia have been drawn into Group L for the 2026 World Cup, alongside England, Ghana and Panama. They will open their tournament against England at AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on 17th June, before facing Panama in Toronto and a potentially vital showdown against Ghana in Philadelphia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Date<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Fixture<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Venue<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>17th June 2026<\/td><td>England vs Croatia<\/td><td>AT&amp;T Stadium, Arlington<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>23rd June 2026<\/td><td>Panama vs Croatia<\/td><td>BMO Field, Toronto<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>27th June 2026<\/td><td>Croatia vs Ghana<\/td><td>Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Croatia key players for World Cup 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Croatia top World Cup Golden Boot contender: Andrej Kramaric<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Only Davor Suker (45) and Ivan Perisic (38) have scored more goals for the Croatian national team than Andrej Kramaric (36).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An eternally underrated striker, Andrej Kramaric is enjoying another productive season in Germany with Hoffenheim, notching 11 goals and seven assists in 28 Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal appearances. Kramaric has scored three World Cup goals for Croatia over the years, which is a total bettered only by Mario Mandzukic (five), Ivan Perisic (six) and Davor Suker (six). His experience and know-how in front of goal will be vital again next summer, despite turning 35 during the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Croatia primary playmaker: Ivan Perisic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key stat: <\/strong>Ivan Perisic registered four assists during World Cup qualifying, only Sorba Thomas (five) and Martin Odegaard (seven) provided more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Perisic has an excellent goalscoring record for Croatia over the years, and he&#8217;s been just as good in a creative sense, registering 36 assists.

In the latter, Vuskovic looked every inch an international-calibre centre-back, winning eight of his 13 aerial duels, while making two tackles, seven clearances, two interceptions and eight recoveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Croatia set-piece specialists<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Penalties: <\/strong>Ante Budimir<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Free-kicks: <\/strong>Luka Modric<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corners: <\/strong>Luka Modric<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-croatia-tactical-analysis-and-formation\">Croatia tactical analysis and formation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/12\/23223014\/CroatiaPossibleXIWorldCup-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1420875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/12\/23223014\/CroatiaPossibleXIWorldCup-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/12\/23223014\/CroatiaPossibleXIWorldCup-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/12\/23223014\/CroatiaPossibleXIWorldCup-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/12\/23223014\/CroatiaPossibleXIWorldCup-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/12\/23223014\/CroatiaPossibleXIWorldCup-214x267.jpg 214w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/12\/23223014\/CroatiaPossibleXIWorldCup-160x200.jpg 160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/12\/23223014\/CroatiaPossibleXIWorldCup-48x60.jpg 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/12\/23223014\/CroatiaPossibleXIWorldCup-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/12\/23223014\/CroatiaPossibleXIWorldCup-32x40.jpg 32w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/12\/23223014\/CroatiaPossibleXIWorldCup.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Many players will be almost certain of their starting spot under Zlatko Dalic, based on current trends. Veterans Modric, Perisic and Mateo Kovacic are among them, while Josko Gvardiol is also a nailed-on starter if he&#8217;s fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around those, there is a talented group breaking through who will hope to complement the &#8216;golden generation&#8217;, including Sucic and Vuskovic &#8212; the latter surely a contender to feature heavily at the World Cup if he keeps up his current form for Hamburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modric turned 40 in September but is still playing 90 minutes week after week for AC Milan. However, Dalic often pushes him into the No.10 role nowadays rather than conducting from deep, allowing him to lower the physical workload and concentrate on unlocking opposition defences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside Modric, Perisic and Kramaric are deep into their 30s in the forward line, so as it has been for so long now, this Croatia team is built around elite craft on the ball, rather than blistering pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-croatia-manager-analysis\">Croatia manager analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no limit to the credit Zlatko Dalic deserves for his time in charge of Croatia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former defensive midfielder has been in the national team dugout for over eight years now, in which time he&#8217;s guided the Blazers to a World Cup final and semi-final, the round of 16 at Euro 2020, and the final of the 2022\/23 Uefa Nations League &#8212; only losing the latter against Spain on penalties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s an incredible return for a nation of just 3.8 million people, which only became an independent country and Fifa member in the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody would bet against Croatia punching far above their weight again at this summer&#8217;s competition, especially given the experience and know-how Dalic brings to the role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Coach<\/th><th>Team<\/th><th>P<\/th><th>W<\/th><th>D<\/th><th>L<\/th><th>GF<\/th><th>GA<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Win %<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Zlatko Dalic<\/td><td>Croatia<\/td><td>103<\/td><td>58<\/td><td>20<\/td><td>25<\/td><td>205<\/td><td>137<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">56.31%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-croatia-world-cup-faqs\">Croatia World Cup FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Have Croatia ever won the World Cup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, Croatia have never won the World Cup trophy.

Croatia then beat Japan and Brazil on penalty shootouts, before falling 3-0 to Argentina in the semi-final. They did, however, win 2-1 when they faced Morocco again in the third-place playoff, earning a bronze medal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who will be Croatia captain at the World Cup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luka Modric now has 194 caps for Croatia, which is the fifth most of any player all-time. The 40-year-old wears the armband for the Blazers, bringing colossal experience and quality to the role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who is Croatia&#8217;s top scorer at World Cups?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Davor Suker scored six goals at the 1998 World Cup in France as Croatia reached a shock semi-final on debut. That remained a national record until Ivan Perisic scored against Japan in the round of 16 at Qatar 2022, joining the former Arsenal and Real Madrid striker on six.
