The host cities

Aside from the tourist offer, Croatia’s ability to be easily recognized is being boosted by successes in sports competitions. The success of Croatian athletes, such as: 3rd place at the World Soccer Championships in 1998, gold Olympic medals in handball (1996, 2004) and water polo (2012), silver medal won playing against the Dream team in Barcelona or Wimbledon win, are the best ambassadors who promote the country in the world.
