Emir Azemović (Serbian Cyrillic: Един Аземовић, born 6 January 1997) is a Montenegrin professional footballer who plays for Slovenian club Aluminij as a centre-back.

Club career[]

Hailing from Novi Pazar, Azemović began his youth career at local club AS Novi Pazar, before joining Partizan's youth system, where he spent two years.

In August 2015, Azemović signed a five-year contract with Portuguese side Benfica, and was immediately assigned to their B team in the second-tier LigaPro.[1] His deal included a salary of 7,000 euros a month.[2] He made two appearances on the Benfica B bench in September, but did not earn a cap. Instead, he spent most of the season with the Benfica U19 team, appearing in three UEFA Youth League games.

In January 2017, Azemović was loaned out to Fafe, another LigaPro team, until the end of the season.[3] He made his professional debut four months later, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3-1 win over Gil Vicente.[4]

On 5 August 2020, he returned to Slovenia and signed with Aluminij.[5]

International career[]

Born in Novi Pazar, capital of the Raška District in Southern Serbia and bordering Montenegro, Azemović represented Serbia in 2014 at U17 level.[6] However, by 2017, he was convinced by the Montenegrin FA to switch sporting nationality and represent Montenegro, having debuted in 2017 with their U21 level.[7]
