The away kit for your young Croatia fan

There's a kid in your house who's all in on Croatia, and they want the shirt to prove it. The Nike 2026 Croatia Youth Stadium Away Soccer Jersey hands them the away kit in deep royal blue, the checkerboard right where everyone can see it.

They'll wear it to the watch party, to the park, to bed if you let them. It's the kit that makes a young supporter feel like part of the side, and it's cut and sized for kids, not shrunk down from an adult shirt.

Away royal blue, with the checkerboard

Croatia's home shirt is the famous red-and-white checkerboard, the sahovnica that comes straight off the country's medieval coat of arms. The away kit flips it: a deep royal blue base with the checks worked across the chest, a sharp second look that still reads as Croatia at a glance.

Fans call themselves the Kockasti, the chequered ones, and a kid in this shirt earns the name in either color. It's also part of the last Croatia run Nike makes before adidas takes over the federation, so the away royal blue is a kit this generation of young fans will remember.

Built for how kids actually wear a jersey

Kids don't baby their gear. They slide, they spill, they wear the same shirt three days running. The Stadium youth jersey is replica detailing modeled on what the players wear, in Nike Dri-FIT that pulls sweat off the skin so a backyard match in July doesn't end in a soggy, clingy shirt. The 100% polyester build washes easily and holds its color, which matters when this becomes the only thing they want to put on all summer.

Fit Notes

The Stadium replica in a youth cut, sized YXS through YXL for kids and young players. It runs true to youth sizing. If your kid is between sizes or you want a season of growing room, size up; a slightly roomy jersey beats one they outgrow by August. Coming off a different brand's youth shirt? Check the size chart, since youth sizing runs a little differently brand to brand. The size chart on this page has the measurements for each youth size.

Care and Maintenance

• Wash cold, 86°F (30°C) or below, on a gentle cycle (kids will test this fabric, so wash it right)
• Turn the shirt inside-out before washing to protect the crest and any printed name or number
• Skip the fabric softener; it coats the Dri-FIT fabric and dulls the moisture-wicking
• Air-dry rather than tumble dry, and keep irons and direct heat off the crest

FAQs about the Croatia Youth Away Jersey

What sizes does the Croatia youth away jersey come in?

It comes in youth sizes YXS, YS, YM, YL, and YXL, made for kids and young players rather than scaled down from an adult shirt. Check the size chart on this page for the measurements on each youth size before you order.

Should I size up so my kid can grow into it?

If your kid is between sizes or you want the shirt to last more than one season, sizing up is the safe call. A little room beats a jersey they outgrow halfway through the summer. If you want it to fit right now for a watch party or a photo, stick with their current youth size.

Is this the same blue away kit as the men's Croatia away jersey?

Yes, it's the same deep royal blue away colorway with the checkerboard on the chest. The difference is the cut and sizing: this one is built for kids in youth sizes YXS to YXL, while the men's version is an adult cut. The look matches, so a kid and a parent can both rep the away kit.

Will this jersey hold up to everyday wear?

It's built for it. The Nike Dri-FIT fabric is 100% polyester, so it wicks sweat, washes easily, and holds its color through a summer of backyard matches and watch parties. Follow the cold-wash, air-dry care notes above and it'll keep looking sharp.

Can I add a player name and number?

Yes. You can add an official player name and number during checkout, or keep the shirt blank. Customized shirts take a little extra processing time before they ship. You can find the home youth shirt and the rest of the lineup on the Croatia collection.
