Club career

Youth clubs

[edit]

Obert is a youth product of the youth academies of Zbrojovka Brno and Sampdoria.[2] In March 2022, he commented on his switch from Genoa to Cagliari, critically highlighting the philosophy of integration of youth players at Sampdoria, stating he did not wish to get lost in Serie C and instead sought challenges with top division senior football.[3] He joined the academy of Cagliari in the summer of 2021.[4]

Cagliari

[edit]

Obert made his professional debut for Cagliari as a late substitute in a 3–0 Serie A loss to Fiorentina on 24 October 2021. It was his first nomination for a senior team match.[5] Following his arrival at Cagliari and first experiences with the first team, Obert spoke highly of his training experience with and advice from Diego Godín, expressing regret of his departure from Sardinia-based club.[6]

By February 2022, Cagliari had offered Obert a 4.5-year contract extension through to summer 2026 with a one-year option to extend.[7][8]

International career

[edit]

Youth teams

[edit]

Obert was first recognised in a senior national team nomination on 16 March 2022 by Štefan Tarkovič as an alternate ahead of two international friendly fixtures against Norway and Finland.[9] During the March international fixtures, Obert ended up representing the Slovak U21 side under Jaroslav Kentoš in 2023 Under-21 European Championship qualifiers against Northern Ireland and Spain.[10]

Senior

[edit]

In November 2022, Obert received his first call-up by coach Francesco Calzona to the Slovak senior team for two friendly matches against Montenegro and Marek Hamšík's farewell one against Chile.[11]

On 17 November, in the former away match, he was only listed as a substitute and remained benched for the entirety of the 2–2 draw.[12] On 20 November, Obert debuted in a home match against the latter opponent in Tehelné pole against Chile, replacing Vernon De Marco at the 80th minute. As a result, he became the last international to debut under the captainship of Marek Hamšík, who was taken off the pitch less than ten minutes later in his final international walk off the pitch. Obert's debut match ended in a goalless draw.[13][14]

In March 2023, Obert received his first competitive call-up for two home UEFA Euro 2024 qualifcations against Luxembourg and Bosnia and Herzegovina, marking Obert's first competitive national team call-up.[15] He was later included in Slovakia's squad for UEFA Euro 2024 and played a total of 24 minutes as a substitute, appearing in the 1–0 victory against Belgium and 2–1 loss against Ukraine.[16]

Obert scored his first international goal for Slovakia on 13 October 2025, during a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Luxembourg.

Personal life

[edit]

His grandfather, Jozef, was a former footballer of Czechoslovakia and Slovan Bratislava. During Adam's tenure in Sampdoria and Cagliari, he became fluent in Italian.[17]
