Ana Maria Markovic, often recognized as the "World's Most Beautiful Soccer Player," has returned to 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 battling back from a major knee injury sustained in March 2023 while playing for Switzerland's Grasshopper Club. Since the injury, she has reportedly not scored any goals, indicating the challenges she faces in her recovery.

In addition to her club career, Markovic has represented Croatia internationally, including participation in 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 addressed audiences at events such as the Web Summit 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal. She also celebrated a victory as team manager of Las Ligas Ladies in the Baller League Final Four in Düsseldorf, Germany.

While she may have stepped away from playing soccer in the United States, Markovic continues to enjoy her summer and is hopeful to find the back of the net again before the season ends.
