Ana Maria Markovic has joined Croatian club Hajduk Split after spending one season with Brooklyn FC in the United States. The move marks her fifth team since 2024 as she works to regain her previous form following a major knee injury sustained in March 2023 while playing for Grasshopper Club in Switzerland.
Markovic, once dubbed the "World's Most Beautiful Soccer Player," has reportedly not scored a goal since her injury. Despite the setbacks, she has landed with Hajduk Split, a team that recently won its first Croatian Women's First Football League championship title in May.
The UEFA Women's Champions League preliminary qualification rounds have concluded for Hajduk Split, and the team did not advance. They will now shift their focus to their domestic league schedule.
Throughout her career, Markovic has played for multiple clubs, showcasing resilience as she navigates her return to elite soccer. Her recent move to Hajduk Split signifies her continued commitment to the sport and her recovery journey.
Markovic has been a notable figure in women's soccer, and her presence on the field, even during her recovery, continues to draw attention. The upcoming Croatian Women's League season will be a key period for her to demonstrate her progress and contribute to her new team's success.
