About the player
Football runs in the family for Sven Šoštarič Karič: his father, Amir Karić, played for the Slovenian national team. He stayed at Maribor through his teenage years, then left Slovenia in 2017 for Derby County, where he spent two seasons in the club's under-23 setup. A loan to Braintree Town in 2019 brought him six appearances in non-league football.
In September 2024, he moved abroad again, joining FC Pari Nizhny Novgorod for a fee of around €200,000.
Karič has represented Slovenia at every youth level from under-15 to under-21, and was part of the under-21 squad that qualified for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship finals. He earned his first senior cap that same year, coming on as a substitute in a 6–0 friendly win over Gibraltar, and added a second cap four years later in a 2–1 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
