Ivan Robert Vicelich (born 3 September 1976) is a New Zealand professional footballer who currently plays as a defender for Auckland City FC in the ASB Premiership. He is his country's most-capped international.
Club career
Vicelich played for Waitakere City FC and Central United in the Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Premier before establishing himself as one of the best players for the Football Kingz, when the Auckland based club joined the Australian National Soccer League in 1999.
Thanks to the contacts he made through his Football Kingz colleague, John Lammers, he was able to impress Roda JC Kerkrade,[citation needed] with whom he signed in 2001. He was a regular player for Roda JC until May 2006 when he signed a 2-year contract with fellow Dutch Eredivisie club side, RKC Waalwijk.
He returned to New Zealand and signed with Auckland City FC in The New Zealand Football Championship before the start of the 2008/2009 season and was a key member of the Auckland squad that contested the 2009 Club World Cup in United Arab Emirates in 2009.[1]
In July 2010, following the 2010 FIFA World Cup in which Vicelich started every one of New Zealand's three games, he signed a short term deal to play for Chinese Super League club Shenzhen Ruby F.C. for four months.[2] He returned to former club Auckland City FC in December 2010, following a 30-day stand-down period.
International career
Vicelich made his full New Zealand debut with a substitute appearance in a 0–7 loss against Uruguay on 25 June 1995
He was included in the New Zealand side for the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup finals tournament in Mexico where he featured in all three group games,[3] and again for the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup finals tournament in France, playing in just 2 matches.[4]
On 16 August 2008 Vicelich announced his retirement from international football,[5] however on 22 May 2009 he answered an SOS by All Whites head coach Ricki Herbert and was recalled to the national team for the Confederations Cup tournament in South Africa, as a replacement for injured captain Ryan Nelsen.[6][7]
Vicelich continued to make himself available for selection for the crucial 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Bahrain as New Zealand vied for the right to join football's most prestigious tournament for the second time in their history.[8]
Vicelich has played 96 times for the All Whites including a record 86 official full internationals in which he scored 7 goals, his appearance in the first leg against Bahrain equalling Vaughan Coveny's then record of 64 official international caps.[9][10] He went one better in the second leg in Wellington as he helped his country reach the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
On 10 May 2010, Vicelich was named in New Zealand's final 23-man squad to compete at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[11] He went on to play in New Zealand's three games there.
On 25 March 2011 Vicelich captained New Zealand in their 1–1 draw with China in Wuhan.
Personal life
Vicelich is of Croatian descent.[12]
