The Croats of Sweden (Swedish: Sverigekroater) today number approximately 28,000.[1] They mostly follow Catholicism, but a small minority that have been living in Sweden for generations have converted to Evangelicalism. They mostly live in Stockholm, the capital city, and in Malmö, in Rosengård district, where they have founded with other Slavic immigrants FBK Balkan. Zlatan Ibrahimović, a half-Croat, can be considered a Croat of Sweden, because his mother is a Croat.
