Ana Maria Markovic, aged 23, flaunted her new kit in front of the camera with a playful pout during her debut modeling session. Markovic has gained social media stardom, earning nearly 3 million followers on Instagram, where she’s been dubbed the “world’s most beautiful footballer.” She represents Croatia as a forward, boasting 11 international caps, and currently plays for Swiss Women’s Super League team Grasshopper, though she’s been sidelined for most of this year due to an ACL injury.
After diligently working on her recovery over recent months, she returned to the team’s training facility this week and had the opportunity to don their 2022/23 kit adorned with her No. 7. She capitalized on the moment with a small photoshoot on the pitch, sharing the snapshots on social media with the caption “Finally in my new jersey.”
Fans showed their admiration in the comments, with fellow pro Eleni Rittman and others expressing their support and affection. While it remains uncertain when Markovic will make her comeback, she remains optimistic about her rehabilitation progress, recently sharing her satisfaction with the recovery process and expressing gratitude for the efforts invested by herself and her support team. Despite missing the first two games of the season, her determination remains unwavering.
