Club career

Early club career

Vavro made his league debut for MŠK Žilina against AS Trenčín on 20 April 2013. [1] On 26 August 2017, he signed a five-year contract with FC Copenhagen. [2]

Lazio and Loan to Huesca

On 4 July 2019, Vavro moved to Serie A team S.S. Lazio for a reported transfer fee of €10 million. [3] On 1 February 2021, he moved to La Liga club Huesca on loan until the end of the season. [4]

Return to Copenhagen

On 24 January 2022, Vavro returned to Copenhagen on loan with an option to buy. [5] On 6 July 2022, it was announced that Copenhagen had triggered the option clause and he re-signed with the Danish team on a four-year contract. His spell at Lazio was described as unimpressive and Vavro appreciated the return to Denmark. [6] [7]

Days before Vavro confirmed his stay at Parken Stadium, a video surfaced on social media in which Vavro was asked if he hated Lazio, to which he quickly responded positively. Vavro soon apologised on social media, stating that the club was "big and historic" and even "too big for a player like him". [8] [9]

International career

Vavro was called up for two unofficial friendly fixtures held in Abu Dhabi, UAE, in January 2017, against Uganda and Sweden, debuting in a 3–1 loss against the former. [10] He also played an entire match against Sweden (6–0 loss) on 12 January. [11]
