Vid Belec

Inter Milan

Signed by Inter Milan along with Rene Krhin at the age of 16, Belec spent three-and-a-half seasons with the Inter Milan Primavera team. In the first season he was a backup for Paolo Tornaghi and won the Primavera Scudetto that season. He also played for Campionato Nazionale Allievi under-17 youth team in the 2006–07 season. In the 2007–08 season, at first he had to compete with Enrico Alfonso for the starting place in Primavera team until Alfonso left the club in January 2008. He then became the fourth keeper of Inter's first team and the first choice in Primavera, which won the 2008 Torneo di Viareggio and finished as the league runners-up. Under José Mourinho, Belec was promoted to the senior team and made his first team debut on 17 July 2009, in a pre-season friendly. He also played at the World Football Challenge. In November 2009, he signed a reported five-year contract with the club.

Crotone

On 6 July 2010, Belec completed a loan to Serie B club Crotone. He made his debut on 4 September 2010 after the first-choice keeper Emanuele Concetti was not available. He then became the starting goalkeeper ahead of Concetti since round 18. However, in the 2011–12 Serie B season, his former Inter teammate Giacomo Bindi took the starting place from round 2 to 4, and again since round 10. However, after a 3–0 defeat to Brescia, Belec re-took the starting place in January 2012.

Belec was the first-choice goalkeeper for the Slovenia under-19 team in the 2008 and 2009 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship qualifications. He received his first call-up to the Slovenia under-21 team in August 2010 as the backup goalkeeper to Jan Koprivec. Belec received a call-up from the senior team in February 2011, after the injury of Samir Handanović, for a friendly match against Albania. 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. In total, Belec made 21 appearances for Slovenia until his retirement in August 2024.
