Croatia head coach Zlatko Dalić has named his 26-man squad for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The Vatreni — runners-up in 2018 and third in 2022 — again blend veterans and a new generation around Luka Modrić. "This is a list I stand behind," Dalić said, expressing confidence in his selection.
Below is every one of the 26 players, grouped by position, with the main talking points. Each card links to the player's profile page.
Croatia's lifeblood is a midfield that controls games through possession — Modrić and Kovačić alongside technical talents like Luka Sučić and Baturina. The back line is led by Manchester City's Gvardiol. How well they convert their chances up front will decide how far they go.
Dominik Livaković is the first-choice goalkeeper.
Joško Gvardiol leads the back line with pace and strong one-on-one defending.
Playmaker Luka Modrić sets the team's rhythm with his passing and game management.
Mateo Kovačić supports the midfield with both drive and defensive work.
The experienced Ivan Perišić brings drive from wide areas and a nose for goal.
GK: Livaković / Kotarski / Pandur
DF: Gvardiol / Šutalo / Stanišić / Pongračić / Ćaleta-Car / Erlić / Vušković
MF: Modrić / Kovačić / Mario Pašalić / Vlašić / L. Sučić / P. Sučić / Baturina / Jakić / Moro / Fruk
