The historic qualifications for the women's senior football team of Montenegro have come to an end, only 180 minutes of football are left in the battle for placement at the World Cup.

No matter how this cycle ends, Mirko Marić's chosen team made a big step forward, so far they have won nine points, played several excellent games... But, they are not without ambitions in the last two rounds, although the epilogue does not depend exclusively on them. Thanks to Russia's suspension, there is a chance to qualify for the play-offs, and that will happen if Montenegro beats Malta in the last round, and Bosnia and Herzegovina - which has a point more - does not celebrate away to Azerbaijan.

Before the denouement in the last round, our selection awaits today a visit to the giant, Denmark. The match will be played in Viborg starting at 18:XNUMX.

- These are historic qualifications, but as athletes we are thinking of winning another point - said Marić and looked back at the Danes:

- Denmark is already at the World Cup, I assume that there will be a football festival in Viborg, that the fans will accompany the national selection to another big competition. We will do everything to offer real resistance, I expect the girls to give their maximum, and for how long it will be enough - we will see. I hope that we will go into the game without fear - said Marić.

Montenegro will play in both matches without four important players - Slađana Bulatović, Armisa Kuč, Anđela Tošković and Nađa Stanović are missing.

- There is no need to talk about how much we miss them, but this is a chance for the younger girls, who were getting a chance, to prove themselves again and show that we rightly believe in them - said Marić.

Malta, which is a rival on September 6, is not being thought about now, the selector claims.

- I think it is sporting to think that the next match is the most important, although the match with Malta is much more important. That duel, more precisely, can be important, we all know what needs to be "set up" to get through to the playoffs. I think, however, that we should think in a different direction, to do everything to win another point and end this cycle in the most beautiful way - concluded Marić.
