Club career

Dubajić played for his hometown club Proleter Zrenjanin between 1982 and 1991, making his Yugoslav First League debut in his last season. He subsequently moved abroad to Germany and joined VfB Stuttgart, helping them win the Bundesliga in his debut season. In total, Dubajić made 116 league appearances and scored seven goals over the course of his four years with the club. He also briefly played for Turkish side Zeytinburnuspor, before moving to Japan and spending four years at Vegalta Sendai.

International career

edit

At international level, Dubajić was called up to Yugoslavia's UEFA Euro 1992 squad.[1] However, the country received a ban just days before the tournament due to the Yugoslav Wars and the team returned home.[2]

Later on, Dubajić was capped once for FR Yugoslavia,[3] playing the first half of a 2–0 friendly loss to Brazil on 23 December 1994, in what was the country's inaugural match.[4]
