Club career

edit

Čejvanović started his professional career at FK Sloboda Tuzla, accumulating 110 caps and 8 goals during his four seasons in the first team, establishing himself in the U21 national team and gaining two caps for the A national team. In July 2008 he signed a five-year contract with the Romanian club Politehnica Timișoara, but the deal fell through and the contract was annulled because the Romanian club could not find a way to pay the transfer fee before the end of the transfer period, on account of Sloboda Tuzla's accounts in Bosnia being blocked, so Čejvanović returned to Tuzla, playing five more games for Sloboda Tuzla, before being transferred in January 2009 to the Croatian club HNK Rijeka.

After a one and a half seasons in Rijeka without attaining a secure spot in the first eleven for longer periods, he was transferred to NK Karlovac, signing a two-year deal.

International career

edit

Čejvanović made his debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina in a June 2008 friendly match against Azerbaijan in which he came on as a stoppage time substitute. It remained his sole official international appearance.[2] He also played in an unofficial match against Poland in 2007.
