Petar Musa is a Croatian professional striker who has carved out a career across Europe and North America, earning his place in the Croatia squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Born in Zagreb on 4 March 1998, he developed at NK Zagreb before moving to Viktoria Zizkov in Czech football in 2017, then signing with Slavia Prague in 2018, where he won the Czech top-flight title in 2019-20.
After a productive spell at Benfica (66 appearances, 17 goals), Musa joined MLS side FC Dallas in February 2024 for a club-record fee, signing a four-year deal. He immediately became Dallas's most prolific striker in history for a debut season, finishing 2024 with 16 league goals. His World Cup debut came in Dallas itself, playing in Croatia's Group D opener against England.
With 21 senior international appearances and 5 goals entering the tournament, Musa provides Croatia with a physical, mobile focal point in attack. His MLS stint has given him fitness and rhythm that feeds directly into a deep tournament run.
