Dominik Livaković (Croatian pronunciation: [dôminik liʋǎːkoʋitɕ, domǐ-]; born 9 January 1995) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Prva HNL club Dinamo Zagreb and the Croatia national team.
Livaković received his first call-up to the Croatia national football team for their friendly against Moldova in May 2016. He made his debut against Chile in the 2017 China Cup where Croatia lost on penalties.
In May 2018 Livaković was named to Croatia’s preliminary 32-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, and was eventually part of the team that finished runners-up after losing the final against France. He made his competitive debut against England in the 2018–19 Nations League match held on 12 October 2018 at Stadion Rujevica in Rijeka, which ended in a scoreless draw.
After disappointing performances by Lovre Kalinić, Livaković became Croatia’s first-choice goalkeeper for the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, starting with matchday 3 against Wales, held on 8 June 2019.
On 5 December 2022, in the 2022 FIFA World Cup round of 16 match against Japan, Livaković was named man of the match after saving three penalties in the shoot-out to help his side advance to the quarter-finals. He became the third goalkeeper to make three saves in a World Cup shoot-out, after Ricardo in 2006 and his fellow countryman Danijel Subašić in 2018. In the aforementioned quarter-finals, he saved another penalty in the shoot-out against Brazil, helping Croatia advance to the semi-finals. The performance earned him another man of the match award, as well as the rare 10/10 rating from L’Équipe, making him the 15th player in the magazine’s history to be awarded it.
