Why is Croatia barely represented in FIFA merchandise?
Time and time again I see merchandise/promotional material for the World Cup pop up on my feed. I’ve noticed that Croatia is never represented in these advertisements. Croatia has literally qualified, been to both the semi-finals and grand final, yet they are barely recognised on an international scale.
Is this just what media I am consuming based in my area (I live in Australia)? For example, I’ve noticed that our local sports stores will sell other country jerseys, including Poland, but not Croatia. They continuously sell Italian jerseys though.
