Players with the most caps for Croatia

Find out the 10 most capped players for Croatia.

Luka Modric - 184 caps

First capped in 2006, Luka Modric is still helping to pull the strings in Croatia's midfield.

One of the greatest midfielders of all time, Modric's efforts helped his nation to the World Cup final in 2018 and the bronze medal in 2022, winning the Ballon d'Or following his performances in the former.

Ivan Perisic - 140 caps

First capped in 2011, Ivan Perisic is still going strong for Croatia and will likely run Modric close for the most capped player when both have retired.

Now 35 years of age, Perisic's ability to play anywhere on the right or left flank has made him an indispensable member of Croatia's greatest teams.

Darijo Srna - 134 caps

One time Croatia's most capped player, Darijo Srna will forever go down as one of his country's best footballers.

Despite playing at right-back, Srna's ability from set pieces and the penalty spot saw him score 22 goals, making him seventh on the list of Croatia's top scorers.

Stipe Pletikosa - 114 caps

Hanging up the gloves before Croatia's run to the 2018 World Cup final, Stipe Pletikosa was Croatia's number one for the better part of 15 years.

Although he retired prior to the 2018 World Cup, the Pletikosa was between the sticks at five major tournaments for his nation.

Mateo Kovacic - 108 caps

Despite his injury struggles, Mateo Kovacic has already cleared 100 caps for his country, and at the age of 30, still has plenty of time to add to that haul.

Plying his trade for Inter, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City, Kovacic was also a key part of Croatia's midfield in 2018.

Ivan Rakitic - 106 caps

A wonderfully gifted midfielder, Ivan Rakitic's performances for Sevilla earnt him a move to Barcelona in 2014 where he spent six years at Camp Nou, winning four league titles and the UEFA Champions League.

Rakitic also scored at the 2018 World Cup, and scored the winning penalty in two shootouts.

Domagoj Vida - 105 caps

A versatile defender, Domagoj Vida spent much of his 15 years with the national team in the heart of the Croatia defence.

Also a part of the side reaching the 2018 World Cup final, Vida scored an extra-time header against Russia in the quarter-finals, going on to score in the shootout.

Josip Simunic - 105 caps

A towering, old-fashioned centre-half, Josip Simunic is perhaps best remembered as the defender given three yellow cards by Graham Poll at the 2006 World Cup.

Picking up a booking in the second half, Simunic was then booked again in the 90th minute - but not sent off - picking up a third booking - followed by a red - a few minutes later.

Ivica Olic - 104 caps

Despite clearing 100 caps for his country, Ivica Olic never got past 78 league appearances for any of his clubs.

An industrious forward, Olic scored at both the 2002 and 2014 World Cups.

Vedran Corluka - 103 caps

Capable of playing all across the back line, Vedran Corluka is perhaps best remembered in the UK for his time with Tottenham, but the defender also cleared 100 caps for Croatia, appearing at two World Cups and four Euros.
