Slobodan Dubajić
Serbian association football player
Slobodan Dubajić (Serbian Cyrillic: Слободан Дубајић; born 19 February 1963) is a Serbian retired footballer who played as a defender.
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
At international level, Dubajić was called up to Yugoslavia's UEFA Euro 1992 squad. However, the country received a ban just days before the tournament due to the Yugoslav Wars and the team returned home.
Later on, Dubajić was capped once for FR Yugoslavia, playing the first half of a 2–0 friendly loss to Brazil on 23 December 1994, in what was the country's inaugural match.

Why this record matters
The phrase “serbian association football player” 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.
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 Sep 18, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q514012. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1963, 1982, 1991 and 1992.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
