Source-derived summary

Mustafa Kučuković (born 5 November 1986) is a German former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Club career

Kučuković started his professional career at Hamburger SV in September 2004 and made his Bundesliga debut as a second-half substitute in the club's away match against VfB Stuttgart on 11 September 2004. With an age of 17 years, 10 months and 6 days he was the youngest player who has ever played for Hamburger SV in Bundesliga then. Prior to his professional debut, he spent one season playing for VfL Bochum's amateur squad and was signed by HSV's amateur squad in July 2004. Between 2004 and 2006, he played regularly for HSV's amateurs in the Regionalliga Nord and only occasionally appeared for the club's professional squad in the Bundesliga, making 14 appearances and scoring one goal in two seasons. His first and so far only Bundesliga goal was the 1–1 equaliser that secured one point for HSV in an away match against Werder Bremen on 18 December 2005. He scored the goal only two minutes after entering the match as a substitute. Playing for HSV's amateur squad in the Regionalliga Nord, he made 40 appearances and scored 22 goals in two seasons. In the 2005–06 season, he also made three appearances for HSV in the UEFA Cup.

In August 2006, HSV loaned him to 2.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Mustafa Kučuković” is german footballer. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Mustafa, Kučuković and German, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1986, 2004, 2006, 2005—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1986-11-05. For this dossier, Mustafa, Kučuković and German is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “german footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q662890. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1986, 2004, 2006 and 2005.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. 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.
