From Ireland to Bosnia and Herzegovina: Maroodza Revives Career with FK Sarajevo Move
Zimbabwean defender Shane Maroodza has sealed a fresh start in Europe after signing for FK Sarajevo, one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s most decorated and storied football clubs.
FK Sarajevo boasts an illustrious record in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, having lifted five national championships, eight Bosnian Cups, and one Super Cup. The capital-based side has also finished runners-up seven times and sits second in the league’s all-time rankings.
Known for its passionate fanbase, FK Sarajevo shares a fierce city rivalry with FK Željezničar, contested in the famous “Eternal Derby”, one of the most electrifying fixtures in Balkan football.
Maroodza’s move follows a brief and turbulent stint at Kerry FC in Ireland, where a disciplinary issue led to the swift termination of his contract shortly after signing. However, the 20-year-old has now landed a chance for redemption and development at one of Eastern Europe’s most respected clubs — marking an important step forward in his young career.
