Vahid Selimović (Serbian Cyrillic: Вахид Селимовић; born 3 April 1997) is a Luxembourgish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Liga I club Hermannstadt and the Luxembourg national team. Born in Luxembourg, Selimović was a youth international for Serbia, but represents Luxembourg at the senior level.

Club career

Selimović joined the Metz academy at the age of 8 in 2005, and spent his entire youth years with them, signing his first professional contract eleven years later on 4 July 2016.[2][3] He made his professional debut for Metz in a 1–0 Coupe de la Ligue loss to Angers on 12 December 2017,[4] and his Ligue 1 debut in a 3–1 win over Montpellier four days later.[5] In January 2019, Selimović signed a two-year contract with Apollon Limassol.[6] On 8 August 2020, it was announced that he had moved to OFI in Greece.[7] After OFI, he played for Slovenian side Gorica in the second part of the 2022–23 season.[8] On 13 September 2023, Selimović signed a two-year contract with Bosnian Premier League club Željezničar.[9] He was sent off after a straight red card in his debut for Željezničar in a 2–0 away loss to Igman Konjic on 27 October 2023.[10] On 26 November 2023, Selimović scored his first goal for the club, an equaliser 4 minutes into stoppage time against Posušje, helping his team to narrowly escape defeat in a 1–1 home draw.[11] On 10 March 2024, he scored an own goal in a 2–1 away defeat to Zvijezda 09.[12] Selimović mutually terminated his contract with Željezničar and left the club at the end of the 2023–24 season.[13]
