List of Croatia international footballers

Updated: 11/6/2025, 1:31:50 AM Wikipedia source

This is a list of Croatia national football team players. Most of the appearances were made since the country became independent from Yugoslavia in 1990, but international games were also played in the early 1940s and a one-off match was played in 1956. Luka Modrić made the most appearances for the national team with 188, making him one of the twelve Croatian players with 100 or more caps. Davor Šuker, who was the top goalscorer at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, is by far the top goalscorer in the history of the Croatian team, with 45 goals.
