Career
A product of the Football Club Saint Pauli academy, Filipović played mostly in their reserve team, making his debut, and his only Bundesliga appearance so far on 14 May 2011, entering for Dennis Daube in a game versus 1. FSV Mainz 05. After spending the 2011-2012 season mostly in the reserve team, Filipović became a free agent, signing for HNK Cibalia in the Prva HNL in late 2012. Filipović, who holds both Croatian and German nationality, was called up in early 2011 to the Croatia national under-21 football team by its selector at that time, Ivo Šušak.
However, he did not answer the call, and it is alleged that the information about the call-up was withheld from him by his club
