Marko Marović (Serbian Cyrillic: Марко Маровић; born 30 January 1983) is a Serbian former professional footballer who played as a defender.

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Marović started his career at Partizan, signing his first professional contract with the club in June 2001.[1]

He failed to make any competitive appearance for the first team, being loaned out to Teleoptik, Rad, Obilić,[2] and Radnički Pirot.[3] In early 2008, Marović moved to Serbian SuperLiga club Čukarički.[4][5]

Romania

[edit]

In 2009, Marović ventured abroad to play in the Romanian Liga I with Gaz Metan Mediaș.[6][7]

Georgia

[edit]

After the conclusion of the Romanian season, he became a free agent and was invited for a trial match in the Caucasus region with Dinamo Tbilisi.[8] Following his trial, Dinamo Tbilisi signed him to a contract to compete in the Georgian Umaglesi Liga.[9][10] His stint in the Georgian circuit was short-lived as he left the club after six months.[11]

Central Europe

[edit]

He returned to central Europe to play in the Hungarian top-tier league with Pécsi.[12][13] Once the season concluded, his contract with Pécsi was mutually terminated.[14][15] In his single season in the Hungarian league, he appeared in 18 matches.[14]

Following his departure from Hungary, Marović trained with Romanian side ACS Poli Timișoara.[14] Ultimately, he secured a contract with Poli Timișoara in the Romanian Liga II.[16][17] He helped the club secure a promotion to the country's top division.[18] Timișoara re-signed Marović for the following season.[19]

After a second run in the Romanian circuit, he played in the Serbian League Vojvodina with Dinamo Pančevo.[20]

Canada

[edit]

In 2016, he played abroad in the Canadian Soccer League with the Toronto-based Serbian White Eagles.[21][22] Marović assisted the club in securing a playoff berth where the Serbs defeated Toronto Atomic in the opening round.[23] The Serbs qualified for the championship final match by defeating FC Ukraine United in the semifinal.[24] Marović appeared in the championship match where Toronto won the title by defeating Hamilton City.[25][24]

He re-signed with Serbia the following season.[26][27] Marović helped the Serbs secure a playoff berth by finishing second in the league's first division.[28] In the preliminary round of the postseason, Toronto defeated SC Waterloo Region.[29] Serbia's participation in the tournament concluded in the next round as the York Region Shooters would eliminate them.[30] His final season in the Canadian circuit was in the 2020 season.[31] He helped Serbia qualify for the postseason where they were defeated in the first round by Vorkuta.[32]

International career

[edit]

Marović represented FR Yugoslavia at under-16 and under-19 level in UEFA competitions.[33]
