Club career

[edit]

Mario Čuić was born in Split, but raised in Donji Brišnik, a village in the municipality of Tomislavgrad, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] He started his football career at local club Tomislav. He moved to neighbouring Croatia, joining the youth academy of famed Dalmatian club Hajduk Split in 2015. In late 2019, he signed a five-year contract with Hajduk.[2]

Čuić made his debut for Hajduk on 11 June 2020, earning a place in the starting eleven and playing 66 minutes in a 1–0 win over Istra 1961.[1] Aged 19, Čuić scored his first and second Hajduk goals in the Eternal derby in a 3–2 win over Dinamo Zagreb at Stadion Maksimir.[2] The goals came in his sixth ever professional appearance.
