Expanding Into Entertainment-Driven Gaming

Kerma Games has officially announced a partnership with Luka Modrić who joins the company as Brand Ambassador and Celebrity IP Partner. The announcement comes as Modrić expands his presence into the world of premium entertainment and gaming.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation, Luka Modrić has built an extraordinary career defined by sporting excellence, leadership, and longevity at the highest level. During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he reached another historic milestone by making his 200th appearance for Croatia, joining an elite group of players to reach 200 international caps. Boasting six UEFA Champions League titles, a Ballon d’Or, and a career that has captivated fans across generations, his story is one of consistency, excellence, and lasting impact.

Now, as Modrić prepares for another season at the highest level, he embarks on this new chapter beyond football, bringing one of the world’s most recognisable sporting personalities into entertainment-driven gaming. For Kerma Games, this signing represents the company’s first major move into international sport and a natural evolution of its celebrity IP strategy, which already includes partnerships with prominent music artists such as Snoop Dogg, Lil Baby, and Sexyy Red.

Entertainment Meets Sporting Excellence and Player Engagement

Kerma Games has built its approach around a simple belief: globally recognised personalities, when integrated with genuine creative intention, can create gaming experiences that players remember. The partnership with Modrić extends that vision beyond music and into one of the world’s most popular sports. Football remains the world’s most followed game, connecting billions of fans across generations and borders, while Modrić’s reputation for excellence and professionalism brings a level of global recognition few athletes can match.

At the core of Kerma Games‘ strategy is the belief that memorable entertainment experiences create stronger player engagement and support long-term retention. By combining premium game development, modern gaming technology, and globally recognised personalities, the company continues to build experiences designed to stand out in increasingly competitive casino environments. The partnership with Modrić further reinforces Kerma Games’ commitment to creating gaming experiences that connect with players through entertainment, culture, and recognisable personalities.

Further details regarding Luka Modrić gaming experiences, content initiatives, and upcoming collaborations will be announced in the coming months.
