Club career

He started playing in Serbian lower-league side FK Ozren Sokobanja from where he joined second-level FK Radnički Pirot.[1] Then, he played with Serbian side FK Radnički Niš in the 1988–89 Yugoslav First League,[2] then with Serbian/Kosovar side KF Liria in the 1989–90 Yugoslav Second League,[2] then with Serbian side FK Sloboda Užice in the 1990–91 Yugoslav Second League,[3][4] and finally with Serbian side FK Spartak Subotica in the 1991–92 Yugoslav First League.[5]

In 1992, while on hollydays in Sweden, Yugoslav War started and Ajdarević family decided to stay.[6] Several Swedish clubs were interested in signing him, but, since he had professional contract with Spartak Subotica, any club would need to pay a transfer-fee. Falkenbergs FF went ahead and Agim Ajdarević in the following years scored 105 goals in 175 games for FFF.[6]

Personal life

According to Albanian press, the family real surname was Hajdari but Agim switched it to "Ajdarević".[7]

His sons, Astrit Ajdarević born in 1990, Arben Ajdarević born in 1995, and Alfred Ajdarević born in 1998, also became footballers.[8]
