Sofascore

Sofascore is a real-time football statistics and live-score platform that has become a primary reference source for journalists and broadcasters tracking player milestones and match data. At the 2026 World Cup it was cited confirming that Luka Modric reached 200 international caps for Croatia when Panama were eliminated from the tournament .

Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Zagreb, Croatia, Sofascore covers more than 20 sports and 7,000 competitions worldwide. Its platform provides live scores, player ratings, heat maps, pass networks, and expected goals (xG) data across football, basketball, tennis, and other sports. Player ratings generated by Sofascore's algorithm have become widely referenced in post-match analysis across European media. The company's mobile app consistently ranks among the most-downloaded sports apps in Europe.

As a Croatian-founded platform, Sofascore has particular authority on Croatian football data, making it a natural reference for Modric's career statistics. The site's open statistical access has made it a standard citation in international football journalism.
