Filip Uremović (born 11 February 1997) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for J. League club Kawasaki Frontale and the Croatia national team.

Club career

Uremović made his Croatian First Football League debut for Cibalia on 17 July 2016 in a game against Hajduk Split.[2]

On 4 June 2018, Uremović signed a four-year contract with the Russian Premier League side Rubin Kazan.[3] On 13 March 2022, Uremović's contract with Rubin was suspended until 30 June 2022, according to the new FIFA regulations related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[4] Those regulations allow foreign players in Russia to suspend their contract and sign with a club outside of Russia temporarily until 30 June 2022.[5]

On 24 March 2022, Uremović signed with Sheffield United until the end of the season.[6]

Rubin Kazan was relegated from the Russian Premier League at the end of the 2021–22 season, and Uremović activated a clause in his contract that allowed him to become a free agent in case of relegation.[7] He then signed a four-year contract with German club Hertha BSC.[8]

On 31 August 2023, a day after terminating his contract with Hertha, Uremović returned to Croatia and joined Hajduk Split on a free transfer.[9]

International career

Uremović made his Croatia national team debut on 8 September 2020 in a UEFA Nations League game against France.[10] He started the game and played the first 57 minutes of a 4–2 away loss.[11] On 17 May 2021, Uremović was named in the preliminary 34-man squad for the UEFA Euro 2020,[12] but did not make the final 26.[13]
