Dževad Prekazi
Serbian footballer
Dževad Prekazi (Serbian Cyrillic: Џевад Прекази, Albanian: Xhevat Prekazi, Turkish: Cevat Prekazi; born 18 August 1957) is a Yugoslav former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
Club career
Born in Kosovska Mitrovica, Prekazi made his first football steps at his local club Remont, being registered for their youth team in early 1974. He soon gained attention as one of the most promising young talents in Yugoslav football and signed with Partizan in December 1974. With the Crno-beli, Prekazi won the Yugoslav First League three times (1975–76, 1977–78, and 1982–83).
In the 1984 winter transfer window, Prekazi switched to fellow Yugoslav First League club Hajduk Split. He spent about a year at Poljud and won the 1983–84 Yugoslav Cup, before moving to the United States and joining the Baltimore Blast of the Major Indoor Soccer League.
In the summer of 1985, Prekazi returned to Europe and signed with Turkish side Galatasaray. He played for the club over the next six and a half years, collecting 185 league appearances and scoring 40 goals, while helping them win back-to-back championship titles in 1986–87 and 1987–88.
In late 1991, Prekazi departed Galatasaray and joined Altay until the end of the 1991–92 season. He also briefly played for Bakırköyspor in the fall of 1992.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Dževad Prekazi”, the useful work is to connect “serbian footballer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1487904. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1957, 1974, 1975 and 1977.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
