History

edit

From 1964 to 1992 Croatian players played for Yugoslavia. Croatia participated in its first ever FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship as an independent entity in 1994. All the results of the Yugoslavia national basketball team men's, women's, youth and senior selections prior to the breakup of SFR Yugoslavia were recognized as results of the newly formed FR Yugoslavia.[3][4][5]

The team won their first gold medal at the 1996 FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship.
