Overview
Vladimir Stojković, born 28 July 1983 in Loznica, is one of the most recognisable names in Serbian goalkeeping: 84 caps, first choice at the 2010 and 2018 World Cups. After Sporting CP, Partizan, Nottingham Forest and Al-Fayha, his career’s final address is Čukarički, on an 18-month deal since January 2026.
In 2025-26 (first half at Radnički 1923): 10 SuperLiga games, 836 minutes, a 61.7% save rate, 1.4 goals conceded per 90. The numbers do not hide what 42 means.
The correct read: not a transfer target but a mentor-keeper contract alongside a young goalkeeper group. A career spanning both Zvezda and Partizan shirts is itself the dressing-room function.

Assessment
| Strengths | Development Areas |
|---|---|
| 84 caps, two World Cups — leadership capital | 61.7% save rate — below league average |
| 1.96 m box command persists | 42 — the reflex and tempo curve |
| Mentoring function for young keepers | Transfer angle fully closed |
Verdict
Age 42 and a declining save rate; the file's value lies not on the pitch but in World Cup-level routine passed to young keepers.
Meaningful only for clubs opening a mentor-keeper slot.
