Soccer has always been a major part of Petar Musa's family, with his mother, Jagoda Musa, a former player for the Croatian women's national team, introducing him to the sport at just four years old by giving him his first soccer ball. Growing up with a former international player helped shape his passion for the game from an early age.
His father, Željko Musa, is a Bosnian Croat from Široki Brijeg in Bosnia and Herzegovina, giving Petar a Bosnian-Croatian family heritage. Combined with his mother's playing career, Musa grew up in a household with strong soccer roots, laying the foundation for his rise from a young player in Zagreb to an international striker for Croatia.
