context_page_description: Ivan Strinić is a Croatian footballer who plays as a left-back and is currently a free agent.
context_section_description: Strinić received his first call-up for Croatia national football team under manager Slaven Bilić for a friendly match against Austria on 19 May 2010. Since then he has been regular starter for Croatia and the first choice for their left-back position. He was a part of the Croatia national football team on UEFA Euro 2012 in Poland, where he played all three games in group stage. He provided an assist for Mario Mandžukić in the match against Italy, to equalize the result on 1–1. Although he was the first choice left back during the qualification matches, he missed out on the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil due to a hamstring injury.
  In May 2018, Strinić was named in Croatia's squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. He started in six of the seven matches in the team's runners-up finish, including the final. However, due to a diagnosed heart condition, Strinić was forced to withdraw from football. When he recovered, he was out of shape and has never been called-up again.
