Alexandar Popović (born 7 September 2002) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Gwangju FC in K League 1.
Popović began his professional career at Adelaide United. He signed a scholarship contract prior to the 2021/22 season.[1] Popović's highlights at the club mostly come against Western Sydney; his A-League Men debut on 16 March 2022, his first start only four days later on the 20th, and his first professional goal on 18 February 2023.[2] Popović was selected in an A-League All Stars squad which would face FC Barcelona in an exhibition match in 2022.[3] He was substituted on for Rhyan Grant in the 85th minute of play, and he did not concede alongside Adelaide teammates Isaías and Nestory Irankunda.
During the January transfer window of 2024, Adelaide United announced the sale of Popović to K League 1 club Gwangju.[4]
Popović was named in Tony Vidmar's Olyroos squad for a pair of friendly matches against Qatar and Saudi Arabia in November 2023. The squad included goalkeeper teammate Steven Hall.[5]
