Luka Modric scored at age 41 as Croatia beat Czechia 2-1 in the 2026–27 Nations League. His 47th-minute long-range opener made him Croatia's oldest national-team scorer, according to VnExpress.

It was Modric's 30th goal in 203 Croatia appearances at the time of the report. The age record concerns Croatia's national team, not every scorer in Nations League history.
