Špehar was a part of the Croatian under-17 team in the qualifications for the 2011 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and scored four goals in six games. Although Croatia finished the qualifiers undefeated, they finished as runners-up in the elite round in the group behind hosts Netherlands and failed to qualify.[8][9]
His father is Robert Špehar, a former Croatian international footballer and the former chairman of NK Osijek.[10]
