Boban Jović (born 25 June 1991 in Celje) is a Slovenian footballer who plays as a defender for Wisła Kraków.

Club career

Jović started playing football at his local club Šampion, but moved to Aluminij in his teens. Even though he was playing in Slovenian second division, he was part of U19 national team that qualified for the European Championship in Ukraine in 2009.

After the tournament, Jović moved to Olimpija and played 16 games in the 2009–10 season, mainly as a defensive midfielder. He became an indispensable member of the team next season, when he played 30 games and started making the right back position his own.

Personal honours

Jović was selected into the team of the year for the 2010–11 season, voted by fellow professionals. He also received the award "Zmajevo srce" (The Dragon Heart) from Olimpija fans as the fans player of the year for 2012.
