Vid Belec

Vid Belec (Slovene pronunciation: [ˈʋíːd ˈbéːləts];[3] born 6 June 1990) is a Slovenian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Cypriot First Division club APOEL.

Signed by Internazionale along with Rene Krhin at the age of 16,[4] Belec spent three-and-a-half seasons with Inter Primavera team.

He then became the fourth keeper of Inter's first team[7] and the first choice in Primavera, which won the 2008 Torneo di Viareggio[8] and finished as the league runners-up.

He made his first team debut on 30 August as a substitute in a UEFA Europa League game against FC Vaslui to replace Antonio Cassano after starting goalkeeper Castellazzi was sent off.

[citation needed] He received his first call-up to the Slovenia under-21 team in August 2010 as the backup goalkeeper to Jan Koprivec.

[26] Belec received a call-up from the senior team in February 2011, after the injury of Samir Handanović, for a friendly match against Albania.

[27] However, he had to wait until June 2014 to make his debut, starting and playing the full 90 minutes in a friendly against Argentina after first-choice goalkeepers Handanović and Jan Oblak contracted food poisoning.
