The Croatian men's water polo team has been placed in Group B for the upcoming World Cup, where they will face strong opponents including Italy, Spain, and the USA. The tournament is set to take place in Alexandroupoli, Greece, from April 6 to 12, 2024. Croatia's first three group stage matches are against the USA on April 6, Spain on April 7, and Italy on April 8, giving them a challenging start to the competition.

Following these matches, Croatia will have a break before continuing with three more games, which include facing Greece on April 10, a rematch against the USA on April 11, and concluding with a game against Hungary on April 12. The format of the competition allows for teams to play an additional three matches after the initial trio, with one of these being a rematch against an opponent from their original group. This structured approach is designed to maintain competitiveness and maximize the chances of the top teams to advance.

The primary goal for Croatia is to secure a position among the best teams that will qualify for the World Cup finals in Sydney. This tournament not only provides an opportunity for Croatia to showcase their skills on an international stage but also to gain experience and prepare for future competitions in the world of water polo.
