*Club domestic league appearances and goals, correct as of 3 September 2022 |
Čović came through the Vojvodina youth categories, and began his professional career at the age of 16 at Cement Beočin, making 19 league appearances and scoring 5 goals.[1] He said: "The goal was to continue the tradition, since all the men from my closest family started their careers in Cement. It is interesting that all of them were defenders, I am the only forward".[2]
During the summer of 2011, Čović was signed to Vojvodina by a free transfer. He scored against Vaduz in a game that Vojvodina lost 3–1 in the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase.[3] Subsequently, having spent only a month with Vojvodina, Čović was traded to Spartak Zlatibor Voda. He made his league debut for his new club on 10 September 2011 in a 2-0 away victory over Novi Pazar.[4]
Čović appeared for under-19 and scored a goal in three games. On 29 February 2012, Čović scored a goal in a friendly for Serbia's U21 team against Bosnia and Herzegovina U21.[5]
Čović got his first call up to the senior Serbia side for the friendly games against Dominican Republic and Panama.[6] He made his debut on 25 January 2021, as a substitution during halftime.[7] In the second half of a draw game against Panama he took captain’s armband.[8]
