Luka Modric’s parents ( Stipe Modric and Radojka Modric) were suddenly thrown into the middle of a war in 1991, with the outbreak of the Croatian War of Independence, and had to spend almost five years as refugees with their families.
At six years old, Luka, the eldest of Modric’s children, was forced to live in hotels for seven years after the family home burned to the ground.
After losing everything, Modric’s parents suddenly found themselves in financial difficulties. Their son was forced to play football in the parking lot of the hotel where the family was forced to stay.
Both parents worked in the same textile factory before the war in Croatia, but Modric’s father, Stipe, became a mechanic after joining the Croatian army.
Modric cites those years as a refugee with his parents as the most difficult of his life, but also one that shaped his outlook on life.
His determination to succeed and his closeness to his family resulted from shared experiences during a truly difficult part of Croatian history. Despite the dangers and upheavals, Stipe and Radojka Modric tried to give their son as normal a life as possible.
Despite the war affecting the Modric family’s finances, young Luka was enrolled in a sports academy to improve his football skills, showing that his supportive parents already had an inkling that their son could become a professional football player.
Modric would end up playing for Zadar and Dinamo Zagreb as a youngster, before breaking into Zagreb’s first team in 2003.

It is a testament to Luka that upon signing his first lucrative contract in 2005, when he signed a ten-year contract with Dinamo Zagreb, the first thing he bought was an apartment for his family in his hometown of Zadar.
At 20 years old, the future Croatian star was finally able to give back to his family and help them integrate into everyday life.

Luka Modric has two sisters, Jasmina and Diora, who grew up with Luka in Zadar, Croatia. The two Modric sisters are younger than their midfielder brother and grew up watching their older brother conquer the world of football.

Diora and Jasmina have followed Luka’s career since he first appeared at Dinamo Zagreb, with a photo of Modric on the pitch after Dinamo won the championship in 2008.
At the time, both sisters were still very young and were kept away from the media frenzy that would often surround their famous older brother in the years to come.
Fast forward to 2019, and Luka Modric’s sisters have grown up, with sister DIora even accompanying Modric to an awards ceremony.
