Club career
[edit]Early career
[edit]In January 2008, Spartak Moscow acquired Filip while he was still playing for Dinamo Zagreb's under-19 side. Spartak then immediately loaned him out to Croatian First Division side Zadar, where he spent the remainder of the 2007–08 and the 2008–09 seasons. He then returned to Spartak for the 2010–11 season and made his professional debut in the Russian Premier League on 28 November 2010 for Spartak Moscow.[1] He made one further appearance that season and in the following first half of the next season. Croatian club HNK Hajduk Split then took Ozobić on a loan for the next 18 months where he largely failed to impress and spent most of the time as either a reserve or a substitute. He was released from his Spartak contract in summer 2013. NK Slaven Belupo, amid other sides, were interested in the player who was then a free agent and moved fastest, confirming his signing on 6 September 2013.
Gabala
[edit]On 11 June 2016, Ozobić signed a two-year contract with Azerbaijan Premier League side Gabala FK.[2]
Qarabağ
[edit]Ozobić signed a three-year contract with Qarabağ FK on 2 June 2018 after his Gabala contract had expired.[3] On 31 May 2023, Qarabağ announced that Ozobić had left the club following the expiration of his contract.[4]
Neftçi
[edit]On 30 June 2023, Neftçi announced the signing of Ozobić to a two-year contract.[5]
International career
[edit]Croatia
[edit]From 2006, until 2011, Ozobić has been part of Croatia at youth international level, respectively has been part of the U16, U17, U18, U19, U20 and U21 teams and he with these teams played 58 matches and scored eight goals.[6] In December 2016, he was named as part of the Croatia squad for 2017 China Cup.[7] On 11 January 2017, Ozobić made his debut with Croatia in 2017 China Cup semi-final against Chile after being named in the starting line-up.[8]
Azerbaijan
[edit]On 14 July 2021, the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan announced that FIFA had accepted Ozobić's request to play for Azerbaijan after staying in the country for almost five years.[9] On 27 August 2021, he was called up to join the Azerbaijan national football team.[10]
