Croatia's 26-player squad
Zlatko Dalić's squad is captained by Luka Modrić and built around midfield control and creative depth. The defence carries World Cup experience across multiple positions, while the forward group offers movement and finishing options. It's a squad structured to compete at the highest level.
Croatia's Group L fixtures
Croatia's three Group L fixtures begin with England on 17 June at AT&T Stadium, followed by group matches against Ghana and Panama.
How far can Croatia go at the World Cup?
Croatia's Tier 3 price and Group L draw make them one of the more compelling mid-tier calls on the card. The midfield experience and tournament pedigree give them a realistic path to progression. England will test them, but Ghana and Panama offer opportunities if they maintain their qualifying form.
