On Monday, the women's national football team will start preparations for the double match of the first round of playoffs for the European Championship.
The coach Mirko Marić announced the list of 24 players for the matches that will be played on October 25 in Podgorica and four days later in Tampere.
The winner of these duels in the second round will meet with the better one from the match between Hungary and Scotland.
"The very fact that we are playing in the play-offs two years in a row speaks volumes for how much we have progressed. In the previous play-off with Northern Ireland, we played good games, I hope it will be similar now. There is no doubt that Finland is the favorite, but we want to play as well as we can." , Maric said.
However, the problems with the composition are obvious.
"The situation is not the best. Slađana Bulatović misses the first game due to two bookings, Anđela Tošković has not yet fully recovered, while Medina Dešić and Jovana Sarić are question marks. However, this does not mean that we will not do everything to achieve a good result." , Marić added.
On Marić's list are:
Goalkeepers: Anastasija Krstović (St. Mihalji, Hungary), Ajša Kalač, Jovana Žugić (Leotar, BiH);
Defense: Tatjana Đurković (Kifisia, Greece), Aleksandra Popović (Agram, Zagreb), Helena Christmas (Dynamo Moscow, Russia), Milica Radunović (TSC Kanjiža, Serbia), Jovana Sarić (Economist), Andrea Janjušević (Emina, BiH);
Midfield: Slađana Bulatović (Fomget, Turkey), Nađa Đurđevac, Ivana Boričić (Radnički Kragujevac, Serbia), Jasna Djokovic (weight), Jelena Karličić, Darija Đukić (ALG Spor, Turkey), Katarina Čađenović (Libero Goražde, BiH), Sara Simonovic (St. Mihalji, Hungary);
