Muamer Salibašić


Muamer Salibašić (born 13 December 1984) is a footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Sarawak in Malaysia Super League. Salibasic has previously played for NK Podgrmec.

He started his career with NK Pomorac Kostrena, but represented mostly the reserve team, going on to have a one-year spell with NK Podgrmeč in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2013, he signed with Sarawak FA.

On 14 April 2013, Sarawak FA announced that they had failed to reach an agreement with NK Podgrmeč over the transfer of Muamer Salibasic and that he would join the club on a one-year deal, prior to the start of the 2013 season. However, Salibasic’s transfer comes at a surprise after major newspapers reported that the player had failed to obtain his ITC from his old club NK Podgrmeč, and Sarawak was trying out new player. On 16 April, 11th hours before transfer windows closed, the Malaysia Premier League side completed the signing and Muamer Salibasic was awarded the number 10 shirt.

Salibasic made his Sarawak debut on 20 April against Perlis FA at Sarawak State Stadium in a 2–0 win as he provided two assists for Joseph Kalang Tie and Bobby Gonzales to give Sarawak the first two goals scored. In 14 May 2013, he scored his first goal league in the season game against PDRM FA, netting Sarawak's second goal in a 3–1 home win. He scored his next goal on 27 April, where he scored the penalty kick as Sarawak huge win 7–0 home against NS Betaria.

On 24 June 2013, Salibasic netted a great solo opening goal finish that nestled just inside the right post in win Sarawak FA 4–0 final two matches against Kuala Lumpur FA, as Crocs were finally crowned champions of the Premier League 2013.

On 21 September 2013, Muamer Salibasic scored the first hat-trick of his career in Sarawak's final group D match of the Malaysia Cup 2013, a 6–1 home win against Perak. A two week later during an second leg of quarter final match, Salibasic scored his second ever professional hat-trick again in a Malaysia Cup tie against Sime Darby FC 3-1 win as Sarawak FA book their slot into a semi-final.

Salibasic's primary strengths are his work ethic, dribbling, precise short passing, teamwork, and shooting. He is also versatile and is able to play out wide in a three- or four-man midfield or in defensive midfield. His preferred and most effective position is in central midfield, where he is given the license to freely switch between defence and attack instead of concentrating on a single role. During the 2013 season at his club level, he was deployed effectively alongside Junior Eldstål and Cameroon international Guy Bwele due to the fact that Junior was able to interchange quickly between defensive and attacking positions and leave playmaking duties to him.
