Born in Sarajevo, Haračić moved to the United States at the age of 2 during the Bosnian War.[1] Her father, Izet Haračić, played professional football in Germany and represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 1994 Winter Olympics as a bobsledder.[2]
Haračić played for Loyola University between 2010 and 2013. During that time, she established herself as the first choice keeper for the Greyhounds. She was named MAAC Player of the Year in 2012 and helped the Greyhounds to a MAAC Championship and Women's NCAA tournament.[3]
Haračić started her professional career with D.C. United Women between 2011 and 2012 where she would make 7 appearances during that time. When the D.C. United Women rebranded as the Washington Spirit in 2013 to compete in the newly formed NWSL, Haračić stayed with the organization as the starting keeper for the Reserves playing all 12 matches and posting a 0.580 goals against average.[3]
During the 2014 season, Haračić signed with the Western New York Flash.[4] Her Flash career would be hampered by a knee injury, limiting her only appearance for the Flash to the season finale, a 3–3 draw against the Chicago Red Stars. Haračić was waived at the conclusion of the season.[5]
Haračić would end up signing with Div 2 Södra Norrland side Krokom/Dvärsätt IF.[6]
In 2016, Haračić returned to the Washington Spirit organization, playing for the Reserves in the WPSL.[7] Ahead of the 2017 season, Haračić signed with the first team.[8] Over two seasons with the Spirit, Haračić made 9 appearances.[9]
In January 2019, Haračić was traded to Sky Blue FC along with teammates Estelle Johnson and Caprice Dydasco for the third overall and 29th picks of the 2019 NWSL College Draft.[10]
On 8 December 2021, Haračić was traded to Angel City FC.[11]
