Serbian women's national team sports preparations

Overview

Serbian women’s national sports teams have progressed through various stages of competitive preparation for upcoming international tournaments. In volleyball, the national team secured a 3–2 friendly victory against Russia in Ubu as preparation for the European Championship. Following training matches between the European Championship and Mediterranean Games squads, the team transitioned to competitive play in Brno. Serbia opened their Group B campaign at the European Championship with a 3-0 victory against Austria, led by Tijana Bošković. In their second Group B match, Serbia defeated the Czech Republic 3-1, remaining undefeated in the group. Despite the win, head coach Zoran Terzić expressed concerns regarding the team’s concentration. Serbia subsequently secured first place in Group B with a 3-0 victory over Ukraine, led by Aleksandra Uzelac’s 22 points. During this match, Terzić rested Bošković to manage a minor foot issue. Advancing to the knockout stage, Serbia defeated Croatia 3-1 in the round of 16 to reach the quarterfinals. Despite losing the first set and playing without middle blocker Minja Osmajić due to a hand injury, the team recovered to win three consecutive sets. Following this, Serbia advanced to the semifinals after a 3-0 victory over Greece. After defeating Poland to secure the bronze medal, the Serbian government awarded each player and the coach 10,000 euros. The team was subsequently received by President Aleksandar Vučić in Belgrade. The reception sparked public debate on social media, where observers speculated on the players' demeanor, noting “somber expressions and body language” during the President's speech. Coach Zoran Terzić addressed the backlash, suggesting the players' expressions were likely driven by a “fear of public or political judgment” rather than personal conviction.
