Lukas Kačavenda (born 2 March 2003) is a Croatian professional
Prva HNL side Dinamo Zagreb on loan from Lokomotiva Zagreb
.
Club career
Kačavenda was born in
Lokomotiva.[1]
During the March international break in 2021, Lokomotiva played a friendly game with
Orijent 1919 and the coach Samir Toplak called up several youth players to join the senior team. Toplak was impressed by Kačavenda and Luka Stojković and left them in the senior team permanently.[2][1] Kačavenda made his debut on 3 April in a 2–0 defeat to Hajduk Split, coming on for Kim Jeong Hyun in the 65th minute.[3][4][5] On 7 May, he provided Roko Šimić with an assist for the first goal and scored the second himself, as Lokomotiva defeated Slaven Belupo 3–1.[6] He was credited as one of the key players who helped Lokomotiva preserve their first league status.[7]
International career
Kačavenda was not part of Croatia's youth teams until autumn 2021, when he was called up to Croatia under-21 national team by their coach Igor Bišćan for the upcoming UEFA Under-21 Euro 2023 qualifying, quickly establishing himself as a key player as Croatia finished the year with six victories out of six.[8]
