The Croatian national football team has played since Croatia's independence in 1990–92 and is controlled by the Croatian Football Federation.
The team played in their first major tournament in 1996 and have been a strong force in international football ever since, finishing third in the 1998 World Cup, led by Golden Boot winner Davor Šuker. They have qualified for every World Cup that they have entered as an independent nation.

The team was FIFA's "Best Mover of the Year" in 1994 and 1998, and have been more volatile in the FIFA World Rankings than any other nation, having been rated as high as third, and as low as 125th. Since joining FIFA Croatia has not lost a single competitive game on home turf.
