Croatia results |
This is a list of the Croatia national football team results from 1940 in Yugoslavia up to the country's independence in 1991.
The 1940s matches include four played by the Banovina of Croatia and another fifteen by the Independent State of Croatia. Then, the Socialist Republic of Croatia played a 1956 match against Indonesia.
