Club career

Novi Pazar (2001-2004)

Alivodić first played professional football with his hometown team FK Novi Pazar. He was for a brief period loaned out to Radnički Niš, before he was transferred to FK Čukarički.

Čukarički

Alivodić played three seasons of football with FK Čukarički Stankom, amassing almost 90 caps for the team. He scored a total of five goals during his career at Čukarički. Soon however he was returned to his hometown club FK Novi Pazar.^[1]

Novi Pazar (2007-2008)

Alivodić had great form upon leaving Čukarički. In his first return season to Novi Pazar he almost never missed playing a full match and scored a total of seven goals in the 2007-08 season.

BSK Borča

In an attempt to rejuvenate his career outside of his hometown, Alivodić was transferred to FK BSK Borča for €100,000 in the winter 2008-09 transfer window. At Borča he showed promising displays,^[2] and despite some regarding him as past his prime, he earned interest from foreign clubs and for the first time got signed by a club from outside Serbia: Enosis Neon Paralimni of Cyprus.

Enosis Neon Paralimni

In the much wealthier Cyproit League, Alivodić played a total of 24 league games during which he made a total of three assists. For a third time, however, he would return to Novi Pazar to play football at home again.

Novi Pazar (2012-2013)

Having come from Cypriot side Enosis Neon Paralimni, Alivodić became Novi Pazar's most formidable footballer in the first half of the 2012-13 SuperLiga season, scoring five goals in fifteen league matches as well as scoring a much-needed goal in two matches for the Serbian Cup.^[3] Among the goals scored was a skillful chip against Partizan on 28 October 2012 in a match FK Novi Pazar lost 3-1.^[4] Thanks to his great performances for FK Novi Pazar in 2012, Turkish powerhouse Beşiktaş reportedly showed great interest in signing the player in the 2012-13 winter transfer window.^[5]

Vojvodina

After his breakout season with FK Novi Pazar, Alivodić signed for FK Vojvodina on 18 January 2013 on a two-year contract.^[6] His performances secured him a first team place, and he became an instant crowd favorite. He was key in Vojvodina's drive to the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round, providing three assists over six games.^[7] In October 2013, he received the SOS Channel "Total Soccer" award for an extraordinary goal he scored against FK Rad on 6 October 2013.^[8]
