Luka Modrić is widely regarded as the greatest Croatian footballer ever. Before the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Croatian Football Association vice president and Dinamo Zagreb adviser Eduardo Mamic was sentenced to six and a half years in prison for corruption. Evidence showed that Eduardo Mamic profited significantly by adding illegal clauses to the transfer deals of numerous players, including Luka Modric. Modric gave evidence at Mamic's trial but later retracted his testimony, claiming he could not remember which year he played for the national team and could not recall writing down evidence. This retraction led to a reduced sentence for Mamic. Modric was charged with perjury and was likely to be sentenced, causing huge anger among fans. However, when Modric led Croatia to a runner-up finish in the 2018 World Cup, he was once again considered a national hero, and the court dropped the case against him.

After investment-based residency was closed in 2007, marriage to a local resident became the primary pathway to obtaining Macau residency.
