Mladen Dabanovič

Mladen Dabanovič (born 13 September 1971 in Maribor) is a Slovenian football goalkeeper.

He started his career with Maribor and Rudar Velenje, before moving to Belgian side Sporting Lokeren in 1999. In January 2004, he returned to Slovenia and has been playing for Drava Ptuj ever since.

He won 25 international caps for Slovenia between 1998 and 2003. He was the country's first-choice goalkeeper at the Euro 2000 finals and played in all of their three group matches at the tournament. He also played for Slovenia in their group match against Paraguay at the 2002 FIFA World Cup finals. However, a critical error in the second leg of Slovenia's Euro 2004 qualification play-off against Croatia meant that the national team failed to qualify for Euro 2004, suffering a 0-1 defeat in Bežigrad, and losing 2-1 on aggregate.
