Association football arrived in Croatia in 1873. According to historians, this was the sport of choice of English expatriates who worked on industrial projects in various parts of the country. After a few local clubs have been established in 1907, forming a national team seemed like a logical next step. This came to pass in 1918, but the newly formed Croatian side played just a few matches before joining the Yugoslavian national team
Following a collapse of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in WWII, Croatia went back to being an independent country in 1941. This Croatian squad played 15 friendly matches by the end of the war, at which point they again joined the Yugoslavia national team. From that point onward, the vast majority of Croatian players represented the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until the early ‘90s and the Yugoslav Wars
Despite Croatia declaring its independence in 1991, an unofficial Croatian team was formed the previous year. This squad played three friendly matches against the United States, Romania, and Slovenia, winning all three. This was also the first time that Croatia played in its signature red-and-white chequered kits
