The captain of the Montenegrin national football team, Slađana Bulatović, one of our finest female footballers, has sustained a serious injury.

During yesterday’s Nations League match against Azerbaijan, Sladja faced one of football’s most severe injuries—an anterior cruciate ligament tear in her knee.

An operation is on the horizon for her, followed by a lengthy recovery period. There’s hope that she may return even stronger than before…

Mirko Marić’s team maintained their chances of finishing in first place in the group and qualifying for the B Nations League with a 1:1 draw against Azerbaijan, scoring from a penalty in injury time.

Slađana sustained her injury in the 15th minute; she attempted to continue playing but was unable to, prompting a substitution shortly after…

Despite her absence, along with that of another Montenegrin legend, Armisa Kuč, who was sidelined due to injury, Montenegro secured a draw…

Slađa will celebrate her 31st birthday in May and has been a key player for the national team for 13 years, since the team’s inception.

In her club career, she has played in Hungary (Ferencvaros), Spain (Albacete, Rayo Vallecano), Japan (Minavi), and since 2023, she has been part of the Turkish team, Fomgeta.
