Biography

Belojević was born on 25 December 1928 in Podgorica. He started playing football as a boy, before the Second World War in Bar, and after the war he colonized in Lovćenac, in Bačka, with his parents, and there he started playing football again in the newly founded club Njegoš, together with his brother.

After one visit of Partizan after returning from Hungary, in 1952, Partizan and Njegoš played a friendly match that ended 1–1 and Belojević kept a clean sheet. Immediately after the match, Partizan signed him and went on a tour of South America.

Belojević was with Partizan until 1955, when he returned to his native Montenegro and continued his career with Budućnost from the then Titograd. He played until 1961, and one year before the end of his career he played for Borovo, then in the Second League.

As a member of Partizan, Belojević participated in winning two Yugoslav Cups, in 1952 and 1954. He died on 24 April 1997.[2]
