Croatia youth teams at world tournaments

Overview

As of 11 August 2026, Croatia’s youth national teams have achieved further progress in international basketball and volleyball competitions.

In basketball, the U16 men's team secured first place in Group B of the European Championship Division B after an 80-53 victory over Iceland. This win, driven by an aggressive defense that forced 24 turnovers, ensures the team advances to the quarterfinals to compete for promotion to the elite tier.

In volleyball, the U17 women’s team continued its World Championship campaign in Chile by finishing second in Group C. Following a 3-1 victory over Argentina—highlighted by 23 points from Ivezić—the team has moved into the knockout phase, where they are scheduled to face the Czech Republic in the round of 16.

Previous results included the U16 men's water polo team reaching the World Championship final after a 12-11 win over Serbia, and the U14 women's basketball team's victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
