A New Chapter for Serbian Women's Football

The road to the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil is long, but Serbia is pressing forward. Under the guidance of head coach Lidija Stojkanović, the national women's team prepares for two critical qualifying matches. This is not just about points; it is about building momentum and proving that the squad is evolving. After a rocky start to the campaign, these fixtures represent a chance to reset and demonstrate tactical growth on the continental stage.

Fixtures: Away in Italy, Home in Stara Pazova

The first challenge comes on June 5, when Serbia travels to Pisa to face Italy. The kickoff is scheduled for 18:15 local time. Just four days later, the team returns home to host Denmark. That match will take place at the FSS Sports Center in Stara Pazova, with a 19:00 kickoff. These are tough opponents, but the coaching staff believes the current roster has the depth to compete at a high level.

Squad Depth Improves for June Window

Stojkanović has called up 24 players, marking a significant improvement in squad availability compared to the April window. The goalkeeper trio features Milica Kostić (Ferencváros), Jefimija Škandro (TSC), and Ema Aleksić (Koge). The defense is anchored by Violeta Slović (Zenit), Nevena Damnjanović (CSKA Moscow), and Aba Šćepanović (Crvena zvezda). Midfielders include Jelena Čanković (Brighton), Milica Mijatović (Fogmet), and Dina Blagojević (Spartak Moscow). Up front, Nina Matejić (Zenit), Mina Čavić (CSKA Moscow), and Sara Stokić (Milan) lead the attack. After four matches, Serbia holds a record of one draw against Sweden and three losses.
