Playing for Clubs: A Football Journey
Starting Out in Serbia
Nebojša Krupniković began his football journey at Red Star Belgrade, a famous club in Serbia. He started playing for their senior team in the 1991–92 season.
In 1993–94, he went on loan to a Greek club called Panionios. This was a very important season for him, as he really showed his skills and became a key player.
After returning to Red Star Belgrade, Nebojša became a leader for the team. He helped them win "the double" in 1994–95, which means they won both the league championship and the national cup in the same year! He also helped them win another national cup the very next year, in 1995–96.
Adventures Abroad: Belgium, Japan, and France
In the summer of 1996, Nebojša moved to Europe to play for Standard Liège in Belgium. He then moved to Asia, joining Gamba Osaka in Japan. He played there for two seasons.
After his time in Japan, Nebojša came back to Europe. In early 1999, he joined Bastia, a club in France.
Success in Germany
From 1999 to 2008, Nebojša played for several clubs in Germany. He also spent one year back in Japan with JEF United Chiba in 2006.
He is especially remembered for his time at Hannover 96. He played a big part in helping them get promoted to the Bundesliga in 2002. The Bundesliga is the top football league in Germany.
He also played for Arminia Bielefeld and SC Paderborn before ending his professional career.
