Club career

[edit]

Sabitović first came to South Korea in 1998, when he joined the Pohang Steelers from Croatian First League side NK Zagreb.

After he was released from the Suwon Samsung Bluewings, there was a rumour that he would go to Africa. However, he decided to stay in South Korea to play for the Chunnam Dragons.

International career

[edit]

Born in Tuzla, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia, Sabitović played for the Croatia U21 national team because his mother is a Bosnian Croat. He won six international caps with the team in 1995. Because of this, he was eligible to play for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and South Korea.
