Asmir Begovic (Bosnian pronunciation: [âsmir bê?go?it?]; born 20 June 1987) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Azerbaijani club Qarabag, on loan from Bournemouth and the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team. Begovic started his professional career with English club Portsmouth, signing for them in the summer of 2003.
After a sequence of loans, he made his Premier League debut in May 2009 and was sold to Stoke City for £3.25 million in February 2010.
In the 2012–13 season he played every league match and won the club's Player of the Year award.
In November 2013 Begovic became the fifth goalkeeper to score a goal in the Premier League, scoring from 97.5 yards against Southampton after 13 seconds, also getting the World Record for 'longest goal scored in football.' In July 2015, he joined Premier League champions Chelsea for a fee of £8 million, remaining second-choice until his move to Bournemouth two years later. Begovic represented Canada at youth level playing for them at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
In 2009, he decided to change his allegiance and represent his native country, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He soon established himself as their number one goalkeeper and helped them qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, their first major tournament.
