Tvrtko Kale (born June 1, 1974 in Zagreb) is a Croatian football player who plays as a goalkeeper. As of June 22, he plays for Beitar Jerusalem.
The newspaper Slobodna Dalmacija rated him the best player in the Croatian First League of 2004.
He started his career at NK Lokomotiva before moving to NK Hrvatski Dragovoljac in 1994 and NK Čakovec in 1995. From 1996 to 1998 he played for NK Inker moving around the Croatian league until signing with Hajduk Split in 2004. He was league champion with Hajduk in the 2004/2005 season. Starting in 2006, he played for Neuchâtel Xamax.
In an interview with Israeli sport portal, Sport5, Tvrtko revealed that he is a Jew according to Jewish law, since his grandmother on his mother's side was Jewish[1].
On June 22, 2007, Tvrtko was transferred from Maccabi Tel-Aviv to Israeli league champions Beitar Jerusalem for a price of $350,000 and a 2 year deal worth $300,000 per annum. On September 2007 he will get an Israeli nationality because of his future marriage to Ronit Dahan, who is Jewish.
In December, Kale was offered to play in Lazio but he refused and stayed at Beitar.
