The Croatia national football team represents Croatia in international football and is controlled by the Croatian Football Federation (HNS), the governing body of football in Croatia. The team has qualified for five FIFA World Cups, including their most recent appearance in the 2022 tournament, where they reached the semi-final after reaching the final in 2018. The team has also had success in the UEFA European Championship, having reached the semi-finals in 1996 and finishing as runners-up in 2020. Croatia’s kits have traditionally featured the colors red and white, which are the colors of the Croatian flag. Interestingly, Croatia’s home shirt features a trademark checker pattern, just like the crest of Croatia’s football federation. The kits are manufactured by Nike. Some of the team’s notable players include Luka Modric, Ivan Rakitic, and Joško Gvardiol.
