The Croatia national badminton team (Croatian : Hrvatska reprezentacija u badmintonu) represents Croatia in international badminton team competitions. [1] The national team was formed after the establishment of the Croatian Badminton Association in Zagreb. The men's and women's team made their debut in the 2010 European Men's and Women's Team Badminton Championships in Warsaw.
