Aleksandar Čavrić (Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Чаврић; born 18 May 1994) is a Serbian-Slovak professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Kashima Antlers, on loan from Slovak club Slovan Bratislava.
Club career
Serbia, Belgium and Danmark
Čavrić made his senior and simultaneously professional debut at Banat Zrenjanin in the 2011–12 Serbian First League season. His exceptional performances immediately called the attention of the top-tier, Serbian SuperLiga, squad, OFK Beograd which brough him in June 2012 as a great prospect. He was the club's top scorer with 11 league goals (from 30 appearances) in the 2013–14 season. On 1 September 2014, Čavrić officially joined the Belgian club Genk on a three-year contract (plus a two-year option). He moved on a season-long loan to the Danish side Aarhus in August 2015, with an option for a permanent deal.
Slovan Bratislava
In September 2016, Čavrić signed a four-year contract with Slovak club Slovan Bratislava.
On 3 November 2022, Čavrić scored two decisive goals during UEFA Europa Conference League – Group H fixture at LFF Stadium versus Žalgiris Vilnius (2–1), which secured a Slovak club first advancement to European play-off rounds in 17 years, when Čavrić's then-manager Vladimír Weiss Sr. led Artmedia Petržalka in the UEFA Champions League.
In January 2024, Čavrić joined J1 League club Kashima Antlers on loan for the remainder of the season with an option to buy. He scored and assisted on his league debut against Nagoya Grampus, scoring in 47th minute and assisting in the 62nd minute. On 20 July 2024, Čavrić suffered a knee and ankle ligament injury against FC Tokyo.
International career
Youth career
Čavrić represented Serbia at the UEFA European Under-19 Championship twice, winning the gold medal in 2013. He subsequently went on to play for the Serbia U21s, taking part in both the 2015 and 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, as the team exited in the group stage.
Senior career
Following the match against Žalgiris Vilnius in November 2022, it was announced that Čavrić and Slovan began pursuing Slovak citizenship, which would make him eligible to represent Slovakia internationally. Later in November ahead of Slovak national team fixtures against Montenegro and Chile, national team manager Francesco Calzona informed that he would consider Čavrić to the national team once he meets eligibility requirements.
