Early Life and Education

Dominik Livaković (30 years old) was born on 9 January 1995 in Zadar, Croatia, into an academically distinguished family.

His father, Zdravko Livaković, is a respected construction engineer and served as a senior government official, while his mother, Manuela Skoblar, comes from a family with footballing heritage — she is related to former Yugoslavia and Marseille star Josip Skoblar.

He began playing football at a young age in his hometown and joined NK Zadar’s youth ranks in 2007.

His natural goalkeeping ability quickly drew attention, leading to a move to NK Zagreb’s youth setup in 2012.

Public sources don’t document higher education outside football, as his development was fully focused on his professional athletic career.

Livaković married his long-term partner Helena Matić in June 2022 at the Cathedral of St. Anastasia in Zadar.

The couple welcomed their first child, a son, in early 2024.

Livaković is a Roman Catholic and often expresses gratitude and faith after major matches.

He is multilingual, speaking Croatian, English, and some Turkish.

Off the field, he enjoys sailing and traveling along the Dalmatian coast.

Career

Dominik Livaković joined NK Zadar’s youth system in 2007 and later moved to NK Zagreb in 2012.

He made his senior debut for Zagreb in 2012 and became the club’s first-choice goalkeeper by 2013, recording over 100 league appearances (104 in total) across four seasons.

In 2015, Dinamo Zagreb announced his signing, though he officially joined the senior squad in the 2016–17 season.

His Prva HNL debut came on 2 October 2016 against Hajduk Split.

Over the next seven years, he became Dinamo’s mainstay, appearing in over 280 matches across all competitions.

On 30 July 2019, he broke a long-standing club record by keeping 413 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal at the start of a season.

In August 2023, Livaković completed a €6.65 million transfer to Fenerbahçe SK on a multi-year contract.

His signing marked him as one of the most high-profile Croatian goalkeepers to move to the Turkish Süper Lig.

At Fenerbahçe, he quickly established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper, helping the team in their domestic title pursuits and European competitions.

He represented Croatia at all youth levels from U15 to U21 before making his senior debut in 2017.

He was part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup runner-up squad but became Croatia’s undisputed No. 1 by Euro 2020 and World Cup 2022.

His 2022 World Cup heroics — saving three penalties against Japan and excelling versus Brazil in the quarter-finals — earned him global acclaim and a 10/10 rating from L’Équipe.

As of 2025, he has over 55 international caps for Croatia.
