Milivoje Ćirković (Serbian Cyrillic: Миливоје Ћирковић; born 14 April 1977) is a Serbian retired footballer who played as a defender.

Club career[edit]

After returning from his loan at Milicionar, Ćirković played his first official game for Partizan in November 1999. He became a first-team regular in the 2000–01 season, making a career-high 34 appearances across all competitions.

In the 2001–02 and 2002–03 seasons, Ćirković helped Partizan win back-to-back championship titles. He was subsequently a member of the team that reached the group stage of the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League, converting the decisive penalty in the shoot-out against Newcastle United in the final qualifying round.[1][2]

In January 2006, Ćirković extended his contract with Partizan for another four years.[3] He was deemed surplus to requirements after failing to make any appearances in the 2007–08 season.[4]

International career[edit]

At international level, Ćirković was capped 12 times (3 unofficial) for Serbia and Montenegro (previously known as FR Yugoslavia).[5] He made his international debut in November 2000, coming on as a substitute for Nenad Sakić in a 2–1 away friendly loss to Romania.[6]

In January 2001, Ćirković represented his country at the Millennium Super Soccer Cup, as the team would go on to win the unofficial tournament.[7] His final international was a February 2005 friendly match away against Bulgaria.[8]
