Chorvatsko
Punching above their weight for three decades. Croatia are one of international football's great overachievers — a nation of just four million people who have reached three World Cup semi-finals and a final. The iconic red and white chequered shirt is one of the most recognisable in the game.
Historie
Croatia burst onto the international scene at their first World Cup in 1998, finishing third in France with Davor Šuker winning the Golden Boot. Twenty years later they went one better, reaching the 2018 final in Russia where they lost 4–2 to France after a remarkable run that included penalty shootout victories over Denmark, Russia, and hosts Russia.
At Qatar 2022, an ageing squad led by the incomparable Luka Modrić finished third again, defeating Brazil on penalties in the quarter-finals. Croatia's consistency at major tournaments is extraordinary for a country of their size, and the chequered shirt has become one of the most iconic in world football.

Their Nike kits are among the most popular international shirts in Europe, and the chequered design has become a symbol of Croatian national identity and footballing pride.
