Club career

Early career

Huseinbašić started playing football at his hometown club FSV Erbach before joining the youth setup of SV Darmstadt in 2011. Two years later, he moved to Eintracht Frankfurt's youth academy. In 2018, he switched to the youth setup of Kickers Offenbach, with whom he made his professional debut and scored his first professional goal.[2]

He scored his first career hat-trick in a triumph over FSV Frankfurt on 14 May 2022.[3]

1. FC Köln

In June, Huseinbašić signed a three-year deal with 1. FC Köln.[4] He made his official debut for the team on 3 September against VfL Wolfsburg.[5] On 9 October, he scored his first goal for the squad against Borussia Mönchengladbach.[6]

Despite 1. FC Köln's relegation to the 2. Bundesliga in May 2024, Huseinbašić decided to stay at the club and signed a new long-term contract.[7]

International career

Despite representing Germany at the under-21 level, Huseinbašić decided to play for Bosnia and Herzegovina at the senior level.[8]

In February 2024, his request to change sports citizenship from German to Bosnian was approved by FIFA.[9] Subsequently, in March, he received his first senior call-up, for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying play-offs against Ukraine,[10] but had to wait until 3 June to make his debut in a friendly game against England.[11]
