2016–17 season

edit

Born in Belgrade,[2] Stuparević passed Rad's football academy.[citation needed] He moved to Voždovac in summer 2016,[3] penning a three-year professional contract with the club.[4] Stuparević made his senior debut for Voždovac in the first round of the 2016–17 Serbian SuperLiga season on 23 July 2016, at the age of 15. Replacing Slaviša Radović in the 88th minute of a match against Spartak Subotica, he became the youngest player in the Serbian SuperLiga history.[5] After his appearance was confirmed as irregular by the rules, the match was registered as a 3–0 win for Spartak.[6] During the season, Stuparević made nine appearances in the league, all as a back-up player,[7] and also appeared for the youth team.[8]

2017–18 season

edit

Stuparević started the 2017–18 season as a back-up choice for Dejan Georgijević. He started his first senior match on the field against Borac Čačak in the third round, played on 5 August 2017.[7] Several days later, Stuparević scored the first goal in his professional career in a 3–1 away victory against Partizan, after which he was voted as the player of the week in the Serbian SuperLiga.[9]

Motherwell

edit

On 20 June 2024, Scottish Premiership club Motherwell announced the signing of Stuparević on a two-year contract, with an option of a third year.[10] On 27 September 2024, Stuparević joined Greenock Morton on loan for the remainder of the 2024–25 season.[11]

International career

edit

Stuparević was part of the first Serbian under-15 national team, formed at the end of 2014.[12] Later, he was also called into the under-16 team.[13] Playing for the team, Stuparević scored in matches against Moldova,[14] Ukraine,[15] Latvia[16] and Croatia.[17] In summer 2017, Stuparević had been invited to the Serbia under-17 team by manager Ilija Stolica.[18] On 22 March 2017, he scored the only goal of the game in a 1–0 win against Montenegro, after which Serbia qualified for the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[19] Playing at the tournament under coach Perica Ognjenović, Stuparević scored from the penalty kick in a match against Germany.[20]
