Uroš Matić (Serbian: Урош Матић, pronounced as /sh/; born 23 May 1990) is a Serbian professional footballer. He is currently playing for the team Jedinstvo Ub.
Matić was born in Šabac in the Serbian Federal Republic. Moving from youth football to MFK Košice in 2008, he made his debut on 30 May 2009 as a substitute in second half of the match against Tatran Prešov. On 9 March 2013, in a 2–1 loss to Spartak Myjava, he scored a goal similar to one scored by Arjen Robben, but during extra time, he missed a penalty, firing the ball into the arms of Myjava goalkeeper Peter Solnička.
In early 2013, Matić joined his brother at Benfica in Portugal.[1] [2] on a 1-year contract with the option to extend it for a further five years.[3] In 2014, at the same time as his brother left for Chelsea, he went on a trial at NAC Breda, who later, signed him on a permanent deal.[4]
On 26 July 2020, Matić signed a three-year contract with Qarabağ FK.[5] [6] Matić left Qarabağ on 26 July 2021.[7]
On 26 July 2021, Matić signed a two-year contract with Saudi club Abha.[8]
Matić made four appearances for the Serbia national under-19 football team at the 2009 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship.
Matić's older brother, Nemanja, plays for Lyon and the Serbia national team.[9] Matić's maternal grandfather was born in Volkovija, now North Macedonia, then settled with his family in Serbia; he has talked about joining the Macedonian national team (as he is eligible through his descent).[10] [11]
