Ivan Čvorović (Bulgarian: Иван Чворович, romanized: Ivan Chvorovich, Serbian Cyrillic: Иван Чворовић; born 21 September 1985) is a retired professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Born and raised in Serbia, Čvorović received Bulgarian citizenship in 2012 and subsequently opted to play internationally for the Bulgaria national team. He earned one cap for them in a 2–1 away friendly win over Netherlands on 26 May 2012.

Club career

Born in Belgrade, Čvorović was educated in Partizan's youth academy.[1] His first season as senior was in 2002–03 with Partizan´s satellite club FK Teleoptik. The following season, he moved to FK Srem Jakovo where he played a season and a half before moving to Bulgaria.[2]

In 2004, he relocated to Bulgaria, signing a contract with Naftex Burgas. In 2007, he transferred to Chernomorets Burgas. On 6 March 2009, Minyor Pernik signed Čvorović. He took number 91. In May, just after making his debut for the Bulgaria national team, he joined Ludogorets Razgrad.[3]

On 20 January 2017, Čvorović signed a one-year contract with Botev Plovdiv.[4] He made his official debut on 18 February during a 1–0 away win over Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa.[5] Čvorović lost his first-choice status to Daniel Kajzer during the 2018–19 First League season and left the team in late May 2019 after the expiry of his contract.[6]

International career

In 2012, Čvorović took Bulgarian nationality after having resided in the country for more than five years. He made his debut for the Bulgaria national team in their win against the Netherlands on 26 May 2012, after coming on as a substitute for Stoyan Kolev during the second half.[7]
