Club career
Livaković became part of NK Zagreb's first team at the beginning of the 2012–13 season. Initially the club's second-choice goalkeeper, he made his league debut on 31 August 2012, playing the full match in a 1–0 defeat at home to HNK Cibalia.[3] He soon became the club's number one and made a total of 104 league appearances over four seasons, including 90 in the Prva HNL.
On 30 August 2015, he agreed to join Dinamo Zagreb at the beginning of the 2016–17 season. He made his league debut for the club on 2 October 2016 in a goalless draw at home to Hajduk Split. On 18 October 2016, he made his first appearance in the UEFA Champions League in a 1–0 defeat at home to Sevilla.
International career
Livaković received his first call-up to the Croatia national football team for their friendly against Moldova in May 2016.[4] He made his debut against Chile in the 2017 China Cup where Croatia lost on penalties.
In May 2018 he was named in 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.[5] 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 of 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.
