Ana Maria Markovic, often recognized as one of the world's most beautiful soccer players, has returned to her home country of Croatia to join Hajduk Split after spending a single season with Brooklyn FC in the United States. This move marks the fifth different team she has played for since 2024.

Markovic is currently in the process of regaining her form following a significant knee injury sustained in March 2023 while playing for Switzerland's Grasshopper Club. Since the injury, she has reportedly not scored any goals, highlighting the challenges she faces in her comeback.

In addition to her club commitments, Markovic represented Croatia during the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 Play-Off Round 1 second leg match against Northern Ireland at Windsor Park in Belfast, United Kingdom.

Despite the setbacks, Markovic remains active and engaged, having recently celebrated a victory as team manager of Las Ligas Ladies in the Baller League Final Four. She also addressed an audience at the Web Summit 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal.

While she may have stepped away from playing soccer in the United States, Markovic continues to embrace the summer season and looks forward to returning to her scoring form.
