Source-derived summary

Filip Ozobić (Azerbaijani: Filip Ozobiç; born 8 April 1991) is a professional footballer who plays for Azerbaijan Premier League club Turan Tovuz.

Club career

Early career

In January 2008, Spartak Moscow acquired Filip while he was still playing for Dinamo Zagreb's under-19 side. Spartak then immediately loaned him out to Croatian First Division side Zadar, where he spent the remainder of the 2007–08 and the 2008–09 seasons. He then returned to Spartak for the 2010–11 season and made his professional debut in the Russian Premier League on 28 November 2010 for Spartak Moscow. He made one further appearance that season and in the following first half of the next season. Croatian club HNK Hajduk Split then took Ozobić on a loan for the next 18 months where he largely failed to impress and spent most of the time as either a reserve or a substitute. He was released from his Spartak contract in summer 2013. NK Slaven Belupo, amid other sides, were interested in the player who was then a free agent and moved fastest, confirming his signing on 6 September 2013.

Gabala

On 11 June 2016, Ozobić signed a two-year contract with Azerbaijan Premier League side Gabala FK.

Qarabağ

Ozobić signed a three-year contract with Qarabağ FK on 2 June 2018 after his Gabala contract had expired.

Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1991, 2008, 2007, 2010—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1991-04-08. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Filip, Ozobić and Azerbaijani.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Filip Ozobić” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Filip, Ozobić and Azerbaijani provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

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 Jun 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2079287. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1991, 2008, 2007 and 2010.

Critical limits

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.

How to read it
