Hadis Zubanović (born 14 January 1978) is a Bosnian retired professional footballer who played as a forward.

Club career

Born in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia, Zubanović began his career with hometown club Željezničar. He started playing for the first team in the 1995–96 season as a youngster. He was regarded as one of the most promising forwards in the Bosnian First League. The most memorable moment of Zubanović's career came on 5 June 1998, when he scored in the 93rd minute for Željezničar in a Bosnian championship play-off game during the 1997–98 season against crosstown rivals Sarajevo in the city derby. That was the only goal of the game which brought his club its first championship title in independent Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Željezničar fans mark 5 June as "Zubandan" ("Zubanday").^[1]

In 1999, Zubanović left for Turkey where he signed with Karabükspor. After only half of a season, he returned to Željezničar where he stayed for two more years, winning another league title in the 2000–01 season. Later, he played for İstanbulspor, Velež Mostar and Dibba Al-Hisn, before returning to Željezničar once again in 2004.

Zubanović did not stay there for long, moving to Poland at the end of that year.^[2] From 2005 to 2007, he played for Zagłębie Sosnowiec where he finished his career.
