TheSerbia men's national football team (Serbian Cyrillic:Фудбалска репрезентација Србије,romanizedFudbalska reprezentacija Srbije) representsSerbia in men's internationalfootball competition. It is controlled by theFootball Association of Serbia, the governing body forfootball in Serbia.

After thebreakup of SFR Yugoslavia and itsfootball team in 1992Serbia was represented (alongsideMontenegro) within the newFR Yugoslavia national football team. Despitequalifying forEuro 1992 the team wasbanned from participating in the tournament due tointernational sanctions, with the ruling also enforced for1994 World Cup andEuro 1996 qualifiers. The national team played its first friendly in December 1994, and with the easing of sanctions the generation of the 1990s eventually participated at the1998 World Cup, reaching the round of 16, and the quarter-finals atEuro 2000. The team played in the2006,2010,2018 and2022 FIFA World Cups, but failed to progress past the group stage on each occasion.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Between February 2003 and June 2006, Serbia participated as Serbia and Montenegro due to the countries' name change. Following a 2006referendum Montenegro declared its independence, leading to separate football federations which resulted in the team's final renaming and establishment as the Serbia national football team.[11][12][13][14][15][16] Serbia is considered byFIFA andUEFA to be the official successor team of FR Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro national football teams, as well as the Kingdom of Yugoslavia/SFR Yugoslavia team.[17][18][19][20]

History

[edit]

Serbia within Yugoslavia (1920–1992)

[edit]
Yugoslavia at the1930 FIFA World Cup, featured an all Serbian team following a boycott by Croat representatives.
Main article:History of the Serbia national football team
See also:Yugoslavia national football team

The Football Federation of what was then theKingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia) was founded inZagreb in 1919 under the nameJugoslavenski nogometni savez (Yugoslavian Football Association).Jovan Ružić was the firstSerb to represent the national team in its international debut match, a 7–0 drubbing byCzechoslovakia at the1920 Olympic Games inAntwerp, Belgium.[21]

In 1921, theBelgrade Football Subassociation organized afriendly match between theFrance national football team and a Belgrade XI, dubbed the "Serbian representatives". The team featured footballers fromSK Jugoslavija andBSK, two of the Serbian clubs of the interwar period. The French delegation was on a four-game tour of Yugoslavia with the last exhibition game being played inBelgrade'sSK Jugoslavija Stadium on 3 July. Prince RegentAleksandar I andFIFA PresidentJules Rimet were in attendance as the visitors triumphed 3–0.[22]

In the lead-up to the1930 World Cup, a dispute regarding the relocation of the FAs headquarters from Zagreb to the capital Belgrade erupted, culminating in a boycott by the Zagreb Subassociation which disallowed its members to participate in the upcoming tournament. Thede facto Serbian team led by coachBoško Simonović, composed largely of players from Belgrade'sBSK,SK Jugoslavija andBASK, reached the semi-final, losing to hosts and eventual winnersUruguay 6–1.[23][24][25] The royal interbellum era featured footballers such asBlagoje Marjanović,Aleksandar Tirnanić,Milorad Arsenijević,Đorđe Vujadinović,Branislav Sekulić andMilutin Ivković. Due to the dismemberment of Yugoslavia duringWorld War II the football federation and national team ceased activities but reformed following the end of hostilities.

In 1945Svetislav Glišović led the first unofficial national team representing theFederal State of Serbia in atournament held to mark the end of World War II.[26] The Serbian team encompassing the newly establishedRed Star squad won its first game by beatingFS Montenegro 2–1,FS Croatia 3–1 in the semi-final, then proceeding to win the tournament against theYugoslav People's Army team 1–0 in Belgrade.[27][28]

Thereconstituted Yugoslavia reached theUEFA European Championship finals in1960 and1968, and finished fourth place at the1962 FIFA World Cup. During its existence Serbian footballers would continually play a role in the Yugoslavia national team throughout the socialist era, with the likes ofRajko Mitić,Branko Stanković,Vladimir Beara,Vujadin Boškov,Todor Veselinović,Miloš Milutinović,Borivoje Kostić,Milan Galić,Vladimir Durković,Velibor Vasović,Dragan Džajić,Jovan Aćimović,Dušan Bajević,Vladimir Petrović and others until the statesdisintegrated in the 1990s. The national team of SFR Yugoslavia played its last game on 25 March 1992, losing 2–0 to theNetherlands.[29]

FR Yugoslavia/Serbia & Montenegro era (1992–2006)

[edit]

While theFederal Republic of Yugoslavia, consisting of Serbia and Montenegro, was formed on 27 April 1992,[30] its teams were banned from all international sporting events, including the national football team as a result ofU.N. sanctions stemming from the conflict in Yugoslavia.[31] Consequently, the national team did not play its first game as a new country before 23 December 1994, a friendly match played inPorto Alegre and in whichBrazil won 2–0.[32] This was the first ever team composed ofSerbian andMontenegrin players exclusively, whileSlobodan Santrač, a former Yugoslavia national team player, was named the team's first ever manager. The next game was played three days later, this time inBuenos Aires, resulting in a 1–0 loss toArgentina.[33]

Due to international sanctions, the team could not participate in1994 World Cup qualifying nor theEuro 1996 qualifying process.[31][34]

1998 World Cup

[edit]

AsFR Yugoslavia joined FIFA and UEFA in 1994, the team was available to participate in the1998 World Cup qualifiers. Slobodan Santrač was appointed manager for the team.[35] In the qualifiers, Yugoslavia was drawn inGroup 6 withEuro 1996runners-upCzech Republic,Slovakia,Spain,Faroe Islands andMalta. With 23 points, Yugoslavia ended up in second place behind Spain. Yugoslavia qualified for theplay-off in which they were drawn to play againstHungary. Winning 12–1 on aggregate, Yugoslavia qualified for theWorld Cup.[36]

The draw put the team inGroup F alongsideGermany, theUnited States, andIran. Yugoslavia won its first game 1–0 against Iran thanks to a goal from defenderSiniša Mihajlović.[37] The next game was a draw for Yugoslavia; after leading Germany 2–0, a free kick fromMichael Tarnat deflected off Mihajlović and into the goal, thenOliver Bierhoff equalised it at 2–2 at the 80th minute.[38] Yugoslavia responded in the next game against the United States and won 1–0 due to a goal in the fourth minute bySlobodan Komljenović.[39] Yugoslavia finished second in the group behind Germany on goal difference.

Due to their second position, Yugoslavia saw itself face theNetherlands in theRound of 16. Yugoslavia entered in the match with a sole attacker, but its defensive tactics proved unsuccessful asDennis Bergkamp put the Netherlands in front in the 38th minute. Following the start of the second half, Yugoslavia pressured the Dutch, who conceded a header from Komljenović. The turning point of this match was a penalty awarded to Yugoslavia afterVladimir Jugović was fouled.[40]Predrag Mijatović missed, and the scoreline remained the same at 1–1.[41] Such an event demoralized the Yugoslavs, as the Dutch took the initiative. In the late seconds of the gameEdgar Davids' shot towards the Yugoslav net from a distance of 20 meters and beat goalkeeperIvica Kralj.[40]

Euro 2000

[edit]

The draw for theEuro 2000 qualifiers saw first-seeded Yugoslavia drawn in a group withCroatia, thus marking the first games between the two teams after thebreakup of Yugoslavia. The other teams in the group were theRepublic of Ireland,Macedonia, and Malta.Milan Živadinović was dismissed and was replaced byVujadin Boškov.[42][43]

The team started with a 1–0 win over the Republic of Ireland in Belgrade, before beating Malta 3–0 inTa' Qali. The home fixture against the Maltese followed, but was moved toThessaloniki, Greece due to theNATO bombing of Yugoslavia. The team won 4–1. The first match against Croatia took place in Belgrade after the bombing ended, and was interrupted due to a power outage at the beginning of the second half, resuming after 43 minutes and eventually finishing 0–0.[44] A 2–1 defeat against Ireland inDublin was followed by victories home and away against Macedonia (3–1 and 4–2 respectively), meaning that Yugoslavia needed to win its final qualifier against Croatia in Zagreb, or to draw with the Republic of Ireland failing to beat Macedonia inSkopje, in order to qualify automatically for Euro 2000. In the event, the Republic of Ireland conceded an injury-time equaliser, meaning that Yugoslavia's 2–2 draw with the Croatians put them through.

The draw for the finals placed Yugoslavia inGroup C along with Spain,Norway and another former Yugoslav republic,Slovenia. The Slovenians took a 3–0 lead in the first game at theStade du Pays de Charleroi, but three goals in six second-half minutes enabled Yugoslavia to secure a 3–3 draw. Thanks to an earlySavo Milošević backheel strike, the Serbs beat Norway 1–0 inLiège. The final group game, against Spain inBruges, saw the Yugoslavs take the lead three times, before aGaizka Mendieta penalty and anAlfonso strike in injury-time secured a 4–3 win for the Spaniards and top spot in the group. Yugoslavia nonetheless finished second, level on points with Norway but ranked ahead due to its victory in Liège. In each of the three games, the team had one player sent off (Siniša Mihajlović,Mateja Kežman, andSlaviša Jokanović, respectively).[45] In the quarter-finals, Yugoslavia was paired with the Netherlands. The co-hosts won 6–1 inRotterdam withPatrick Kluivert scoring a hat-trick. Despite Yugoslavia's elimination,Savo Milošević was crowned the joint top scorer of the tournament alongside Patrick Kluivert. Both players scored five goals, although Milošević played one game fewer.[46]

2002 World Cup campaign

[edit]

Ilija Petković replaced Boškov as head coach in July 2000.[47] For the2002 World Cup qualifiers, Yugoslavia was drawn inGroup 1 withRussia, Slovenia,Switzerland, the Faroe Islands andLuxembourg. After winning against Luxembourg, Petković was sacked and replaced with a three-pieced team which consisted of Boškov,Dejan Savićević andIvan Ćurković. Yugoslavia won both matches against Luxembourg and the Faroe Islands, as well as the away game against Switzerland, but suffered a home loss and an away draw against Russia, a home draw against Switzerland, and draws in both home and away games against Slovenia. Yugoslavia ended the qualifying campaign in third place in the group, just one point behind second-placed Slovenia who advanced to thesecond round of qualifying.[48]

Euro 2004 campaign

[edit]

Savićević was appointed as coach in July 2002.[49] For theEuro 2004 qualifiers Yugoslavia was drawn inGroup 9 withItaly,Wales,Finland andAzerbaijan. During qualifying, the country went under apolitical transformation, and the newly named Serbia and Montenegro appeared for the first time in a game against Azerbaijan in February 2003.[50] In June, after a 2–1 loss to Azerbaijan, Savićević resigned and was replaced by Ilija Petković.[51] Despite drawing both games against eventual group winners Italy and winning both games against runners-up Wales, Serbia and Montenegro failed to qualify, mostly due to a 2–2 home draw, the 2–1 loss to Azerbaijan, as well as a 3–0 away loss to Finland.

2006 World Cup

[edit]

Petković remained as manager for the team.[52]Qualifying for the2006 World Cup resulted in six wins and four draws, with Serbia and Montenegro ending up first in the group with an undefeated record in theirqualification group ahead of Spain,Belgium,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Lithuania andSan Marino. The Serbia and Montenegro team also allowed only one goal in the ten matches, the best defensive record of all 51 teams participating in qualification.

On 3 June 2006, following areferendum, Montenegro declared its independence from Serbia. As the World Cup was about to start, it was decided that the Serbia and Montenegro team that had qualified for the tournament would compete, with the split into separate teams representing the new countries of Montenegro and Serbia to take place once the team was no longer in the tournament.

In thegroup stage, Serbia and Montenegro lost their opening game to the Netherlands. The final score was 1–0 afterArjen Robben scored the only goal of the game. They also lost their second game to Argentina 6–0, Serbia and Montenegro's worst ever international result. With the team's two losses and with Netherlands and Argentina winning both their games, Serbia and Montenegro could no longer qualify for the knockout matches and was playing for pride alone in their final group game againstIvory Coast. After a 2–0 lead for much of the first half,the Elephants managed to come back and win 3–2, leaving Serbia and Montenegro with no points.[53]

Independent Serbia (2006–present)

[edit]

Euro 2008 campaign

[edit]

Javier Clemente, Serbia's first-ever foreign coach, was appointed to lead the team for the 2008 Euro campaign.[54] After Montenegro declared independence, Serbia marked their split fromMontenegro with a 3–1 win over the Czech Republic. For theEuro 2008 qualifiers, Serbia was drawn inGroup A along withPoland,Portugal,Belgium, Finland,Kazakhstan,Armenia and Azerbaijan. A strong start in qualification was overshadowed by the final hurdle of matches where inconsistency took over, the side dropping points against the likes of Finland, Belgium, Armenia and Kazakhstan. They eventually finished third, three points behind runners-up Portugal and Group A winners Poland. Clemente was sacked after the team's failure to qualify.[55]

Serbia replaced Clemente withMiroslav Đukić, who then left the position on 19 August of the following year without having played any official games, due to disagreements with theFootball Association of Serbia.[citation needed]

2010 World Cup

[edit]

Subsequent to Ðukić's departure,Radomir Antić was appointed coach. Serbia'sWorld Cup qualification campaign began in 2008. Theirqualification group featured1998 World Cup winners and2006 World Cup runners-upFrance,Romania, as well asAustria,Lithuania and the Faroe Islands. Serbia played consistently during the qualifiers and this led to the team automatically qualifying for the2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. They confirmed qualification with a 5–0 home victory against Romania.

The 2010 World Cup team featured captainDejan Stanković, who became the only player to feature in a World Cup having played under three different national names (although he never changed nationality; this was a result of geopolitical events involving the identity of Yugoslavia).[57] They facedGhana, Germany,Australia.

Their opening group game was against Ghana and chances came to both sides but a red card toAleksandar Luković and a handball by substituteZdravko Kuzmanović in the second half gave Ghana a penalty to take all three points at the death.Asamoah Gyan converted eight minutes from full-time and Serbia were defeated 1–0. In Serbia's second group match, they defeated Germany by a score of 1–0 with a goal byMilan Jovanović in the first half. FIFA's official YouTube channel called the win "the most famous day in Serbia's footballing history".[58][better source needed]

Serbia only needed a single point to reach the knockout stages, but was defeated by Australia 2–1. Australia scored two goals in the second half throughTim Cahill andBrett Holman. A lateMarko Pantelić goal served only as a consolation. They finished last in the group.[59][60]

Euro 2012 campaign

[edit]

Radomir Antić was sacked two games into theUEFA Euro 2012 qualifying process, a 1–1 home draw against Slovenia ending his two-year stint. The dismissal meant the bringing in ofVladimir Petrović to the job.

For the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying, Serbia was drawn inGroup C featuring Italy, Slovenia,Estonia,Northern Ireland and the Faroe Islands. The qualifying stage began with Antić as coach and finished with Vladimir Petrović. Serbia started the first two games with a 3–0 win away to Faroe Islands and a 1–1 draw at home to Slovenia but this result ended Antić's stint as the country's coach.[61] New coach Petrović faced setbacks with a 3–1 home loss against Estonia[62] and an abandoned match resulting in a 3–0 loss to Italy due to crowd trouble from the Serbian away supporters inGenoa.[63]

Serbia returned to form with a 2–1 home victory over Northern Ireland but could only manage a 1–1 away draw against Estonia. Afterwards, Serbia won back to back games with a 1–0 win away to Northern Ireland and a crucial 3–1 home victory against Faroe Islands. These results put Serbia in pole position to confirm a play-off spot behind Italy.

Serbia needed a home victory against Italy to confirm a play-off spot but their efforts only resulted in a 1–1 draw. However, the team still had one more chance to confirm a play-off place when they faced Slovenia away. Serbia also must win the match despite having superior goal difference over Estonia; a draw was not good enough for progression. Neither side played better in the first half, but a long-range goal put Slovenia up 1–0 at half time. In the second half, Nemanja Vidić missed penalty. Serbia left empty-handed after a 1–0 loss and exited the tournament for the third time in a row during the qualifying group stages, missing out by one point behind Estonia. Serbia once again failed to qualify for theEuropean Championships.[64] Vladimir Petrović was sacked after the team's failure to qualify.

2014 World Cup campaign

[edit]

Ahead of thequalifying campaign for the2014 FIFA World Cup, Dejan Stanković and Nemanja Vidić announced that they were retiring from international football.[65][66] Branislav Ivanović became the new captain. Siniša Mihajlović, a former member of the national team, was appointed as the coach on 24 April 2012. Serbia was drawn inGroup A in qualification for the 2014 World Cup, together with Croatia, Belgium,Scotland, Macedonia, and Wales. The team began the qualification campaign with a goalless draw with Scotland and a 6–1 win over Wales. In the next two games, Serbia suffered two defeats from Macedonia and Belgium.

On 22 March 2013, Serbia played in Zagreb against Croatia. The game was highly anticipated in both countries due totheir rivalry both on and off the pitch. Croatia won 2–0.[67] Serbia defeated Scotland 2–0 at home in a crucial qualifier, but their World Cup hopes were taken away after a 2–1 defeat to Belgium. Serbia drew with Croatia 1–1 in the corresponding fixture at home, where 18-year-oldAleksandar Mitrović scored an equalizer in the second-half afterMario Mandžukić opened the scoring.[68] They defeated Wales 3–0 in Cardiff. Dejan Stanković's farewell game was completed in a friendly againstJapan, which Serbia won 2–0. He finished his career with 103 appearances for the national team, a record previously held by Savo Milošević, with 102 appearances. Serbia finished qualifying with a 5–1 home win against Macedonia,[69] putting them in third in the group, three points from a playoff spot behind Croatia and group winners Belgium.

Euro 2016 campaign

[edit]

After failing to qualify for the 2014 World Cup,Dick Advocaat was appointed as the coach in 2014.[70] Serbia was drawn inGroup I inqualification forUEFA Euro 2016, together with Portugal,Denmark,Albania and Armenia. Advocaat started with a 1–1 friendly draw against France and began qualification with the same result against Armenia. The following game was agame against Albania in Belgrade, abandoned as a result of crowd trouble after a drone carrying an Albanian flag and a map ofGreater Albania was flown over the pitch.[71] Serbia was originally awarded with a 3–0 victory by UEFA, and deducted three points, but on 10 July 2015, theCourt of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reversed the earlier decision and awarded Albania a 3–0 victory.[71] On 14 November 2014, Serbia played against Denmark in Belgrade and lost, 1–3. After this game, Advocaat left,[72] whereuponRadovan Ćurčić was announced as a new coach on 25 November.[73]

Serbia's first match in 2015 was a qualifying match against Portugal inLisbon, during which Serbia lost 2–1, cutting their chances for qualification to Euro 2016. On 13 June 2015, Serbia played a qualifying match against Denmark inCopenhagen, losing 2–0. With the 10 July ruling by CAS on the abandoned game against Albania, Serbia would become mathematically eliminated from Euro 2016 qualification. On 4 September 2015, Serbia had their first victory, winning 2–0, against Armenia. On 8 October 2015, Serbia defeated Albania with a goal each fromAleksandar Kolarov andAdem Ljajić.[74] In the table of Group I, Serbia finished second to last place with four points in a five-team group.[75]

2018 World Cup

[edit]

After failing to qualify for Euro 2016,Slavoljub Muslin was appointed as a coach. Serbia was drawn inGroup D in qualification for the2018 FIFA World Cup with Euro 2016 semi-finalists Wales, Austria, Ireland,Georgia andMoldova. They started off their campaign with a 2–2 draw against Ireland at theRed Star Stadium and eventually won against Austria, Georgia and Moldova.[citation needed]

Serbia beat Moldova in Belgrade with goals from Aleksandar Kolarov, Aleksandar Mitrović andMijat Gaćinović. This consolidated their first position going into their top-of-the group clash with Ireland. They won this match with a 55th-minute goal from Kolarov. Serbia finished the qualifying campaign with a 1–0 home win against Georgia, and ended at the top ofGroup D and therefore qualified for the2018 tournament. Despite Serbia's qualification, Muslin was sacked by the Football Association of Serbia as a result on differences regarding team selection.[76] Muslin was criticized for not invitingSergej Milinković-Savić to play in the campaign which sparked controversy in Serbia. Mladen Krstajić took the place as a temporary coach after Muslin's dismissal and led the team in the World Cup.[77]

In the World Cup, Serbia opened their match againstCosta Rica. Kolarov's free kick at the second half meant Serbia won their first World Cup game in eight years. Serbia lost their later encounters, losing 1–2 toSwitzerland with a 90th-minute goal scored byXherdan Shaqiri[78] and 0–2 toBrazil, thus being eliminated in the group stage.[79]

2018–19 UEFA Nations League

[edit]

Due to the performance of Serbia in previous years, the country found itself started the campaign of the inauguralNations League, where they were drawn intoGroup 4 with Montenegro, Lithuania and Romania. With both wins against Lithuania and Montenegro and both draw games against Romania, Serbia finished on top of the group, securing theEuro 2020 play-off spot and being promoted intoLeague B for2020–21 season. With six goals, Aleksandar Mitrović finished the tournament as the top scorer.

Euro 2020 campaign

[edit]

In December 2017, Mladen Krstajić became the permanent coach for Serbia.[80] Serbia started the campaign of2018–19 UEFA Nations League, which served as a part ofUEFA Euro 2020 qualifying campaign.

For Euro 2020 qualifiers, Serbia was drawn intoGroup B withEuro 2016 champions Portugal,Ukraine, Lithuania and Luxembourg. Serbia kicked off the qualifiers with 1–1 away draw against Portugal. However, in the next away game against Ukraine, Serbia lost 5–0. Krstajić was sacked after the loss and replaced withLjubiša Tumbaković. Tumbaković started with a 2–4 home loss against Portugal. The next two games were away wins against Luxembourg and Lithuania, before beating Luxembourg at home. Serbia then drew 2–2 to Ukraine at home, meaning they could not finish in the top two and a play-off would ensue.

After theUEFA Euro 2020 qualifying play-offs were resumed, Serbia placed itself againstNorway inOslo. Two goals, one in extra time helped Serbia to overcome Norway 2–1, thus marching to the final playoff game against Scotland at home.[81] The game was won by Scotland in a penalty shootout (5–4) after the game was tied 1–1 after full time.[82] Serbia once again failed to qualify for the Euros, making 20 years since the country last took part in the tournament. Tumbaković was sacked after the team's failure to qualify for the tournament.[83]

2022–23 UEFA Nations League

[edit]

Serbia was drawn in2022–23 UEFA Nations League BGroup 4 alongsideNorway,Sweden and Slovenia, finishing first and being promoted after wins against Sweden at home and Norway in Oslo.

2022 World Cup

[edit]

Serbia was drawn inGroup A in qualification for the2022 FIFA World Cup with Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg and Azerbaijan.[84]

After a penalty shootout loss against Scotland in the Euro 2020 qualifying playoffs,Ljubiša Tumbaković was sacked and replaced withDragan Stojković.

Serbia startedqualification with a 3–2 win against the Republic of Ireland in Belgrade in March 2021. After a 2–2 draw against Portugal, Serbia won against Azerbaijan in Baku 2–1. Mixed results meant Serbia needed a victory against Portugal to qualify directly from the group. On 14 November 2021, Serbia facedPortugal at theEstádio da Luz, and trailed by a goal. However, an equaliser byDušan Tadić and a decisive goal fromAleksandar Mitrović in the final minutes of the second half meant Serbia automatically booked a ticket for Qatar.[85]

Serbia was drawn in Group G with 2018 opponents Brazil and Switzerland, as well as African representativesCameroon. Serbia was defeated in the first match against Brazil 2–0, drew against Cameroon 3–3, and lost against Switzerland 3–2 after a fight between multiple Serbs andGranit Xhaka, ending up with only one point.[86]

Euro 2024

[edit]

Following the elimination in the group stage at the 2022 World Cup, Stojković stayed as a coach with a goal to bring Serbia toUEFA Euro 2024.[87]

Serbia was drawn inGroup G in qualification for Euro 2024 with Hungary, Montenegro, Bulgaria and Lithuania.[88] Serbia started the qualifying campaign with 2–0 wins against Lithuania in Belgrade and Montenegro in Podgorica in March 2023.[89][90] After a friendly match against Jordan in which Serbia won 3–2, Serbia ended up in a 1–1 draw against Bulgaria in Razgrad. For the next game against Hungary in Belgrade, Serbia was forced to play behind closed doors due to UEFA sanctioning the Serbian association chants against Montenegrins; Serbia eventually lost the game 1–2. The next game was another win against Lithuania in Kaunas, 3–1, withAleksandar Mitrović scoring a hat-trick. On 14 October 2023, Serbia once again lost against Hungary in Budapest 1–2, but won against Montenegro in Belgrade 3–1 three days later. After the crucial final game against Bulgaria at home which ended in a 2–2 draw, Serbia ended the campaign in second place in group G with 14 points, qualifying for their first European Championship as an independent nation and in 24 years.[91]

In the tournament, Serbia was drawn into group C with England, Slovenia and Denmark. They lost 1–0 to England in the first game.[92] They followed that up with a 1–1 draw with Slovenia, afterLuka Jović scored a last minute equalizer in extra time.[93] They needed to beat Denmark in their last group stage match in order to advance, but came up with a 0–0 draw, resulting in their elimination.[94]

Rivalries

[edit]
  • Serbia v. Croatia: The rivalry stems frompolitical roots, and is listed as one of the ten greatest international rivalries byGoal.com.[95] and as the most politically charged football rivalry by theBleacher Report.[96] The two sides started the football rivalry in the 1990 when they were part of Yugoslavia, which dissolved after aseries of wars. The two nations have played four times, with Croatia winning one and drawing the other three games.[97]
  • Serbia v. Albania: The rivalry stems fromhistorical tensions and theKosovo question.[98] in which Albania has won two Matches and Serbia one Match so far.
  • Serbia v. Switzerland: The rivalry is connected to theAlbanian diaspora players in the Swiss football team and is linked to the tensions between the Albanians and the Serbs. The teams have faced each other 4 times, with Switzerland winning twice and Serbia once.[99]

Team image

[edit]

The badge of theFootball Association of Serbia is modelled on theSerbian cross inescutcheon featured on theSerbian coat of arms. It consists of a modified version of the four firesteels and cross, with the addition of a football. The team is nicknamed "the Eagles" (Serbian Cyrillic:Орлови) in reference to thewhite double-headed eagle, anational symbol of Serbia.[100][101][102][103][104] The second nickname of the team is"the Blues" (Serbian Cyrillic:Плави), after the blue kits that the national team wore from 1920s to 2006 and again from 2025.[105][106] In 2022 the Football Association of Serbia launched a new, national team specific emblem forbrand andmarketing purposes. The previous FA crest was replaced by a stylised logo inspired by the lesser coat of arms of the Republic of Serbia.[107]

For years following the breakup ofSFR Yugoslavia the national team experienced an identity crisis, which despite its name, was seen asde facto representative of Serbia. From 1994 to 2006 the obsolete and unpopularCommunist era national anthem "Hej, Sloveni" was often jeered, booed and whistled by home supporters as players refrained from singing the lyrics. During this period the team continued to officially carry the old nickname "Plavi" (theBlues), badge and kit design indicative of theYugoslav tricolour.[108][103][109]

Following thesecession of Montenegro in 2006 the national team adopted red shirts, blue shorts and white socks in honor of theSerbian tricolour. Between 2010 and 2016 a cross motif inspired by the country's coat of arms was incorporated in the jersey. In years Serbia has utilised all-red uniforms due to FIFA's kit clash regulations. Away kits are most commonly white with blue or white shorts.[110][111] In 2025, the team officially returned to the traditional blue jerseys.[112][113] This decision was mostly approved by the public.[114][115]

The 53,000-capacityRajko Mitić Stadium is the largest in Serbia, and is often utilised for international fixtures.

Serbia does not have an official national stadium and the team has played at grounds throughout the country. TheRajko Mitić Stadium is the most popular venue following byPartizan Stadium, both ground are located in the capital cityBelgrade.[116][117][118]

Kit sponsorship

In July 2014, a partnership was announced between theFootball Association of Serbia and English manufacturerUmbro, which is Serbia's official supplier, beforePuma took over with their home and away kits, debuting 7 September 2014 in the friendly match againstFrance. That same day, Serbia unveiled their latest kits also worn at theEuro 2016 qualifiers campaign.[119] In January 2025, the Football Association of Serbia announcedCapelli Sport as the new sponsor of the national team, replacing Puma.[120][121][122]

Competition records

[edit]

Serbia was part ofYugoslavia and itsnational football team which existed between 1920 and 1992. With thecollapse of Yugoslavia, the remaining constituent republics,Serbia andMontenegro, formed theFederal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992. The country underwent a name change in 2003, and Montenegro left the state union in 2006.FIFA andUEFA consider theFootball Association of Serbia a direct successor to both theFootball Association of Yugoslavia and theFootball Association of Serbia and Montenegro, thereby attributing all records to Serbia.[129]

  1. ^Last 8 held as second group stage.
  2. ^Legend:In each final tournament of the World Cup, the European Championship and the Nations League (shown inbold), Serbia has played one match against the respective opponent, while in each qualifying tournament and each Nations League group stage, it has played two matches against the respective opponent.Friendly matches and minor tournaments are counted in the table but are not shown in this column.
  3. ^TheSerbia v Albania match was abandoned with the score at 0–0 in the 42nd minute after "various incidents", which resulted in the Albania players refusing to return to the field. UEFA ruled that not only Albania had forfeited the match and awarded a 3–0 win to Serbia, but also deducted three points from Serbia for their involvement in the events. Serbia also had to play their next two home qualifying games behind closed doors, and both the Serbian and Albanian FAs were fined €100,000.[131] The decision was appealed by both Serbia and Albania,[132] but the decision was upheld by UEFA.[133][134] Both associations then filed further appeals to theCourt of Arbitration for Sport,[135][136] and on 10 July 2015, the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected the appeal filed by the Serbian FA, and upheld in part the appeal filed by the Albanian FA, meaning the match is deemed to have been forfeited by Serbia with 0–3 and they are still deducted three points.[137]
  4. ^The Italy v Serbia match was abandoned after six minutes due to rioting by Serbian fans.[138] The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body awarded the match as a 3–0 forfeit win to Italy.[139]

  1. ^Draw for1994 FIFA World Cup qualifiers was made on 8 December 1991, however due tobreak-up ofSocialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and consequentmilitary conflict, which broke in early 1991,FSJ ceased to exist as football organization of the SFR Yugoslavia. Organization that remained based in Belgrade, Serbia, was excluded from taking part as FSJ or its successor due toUN sanctions.[130]

    Historically, the nicknamePlavi (The Blues) was used for the Yugoslav national team. In 2025, the colour blue was returned to the national team's kit after nineteen years which resulted in a resurgence of the nickname.[140]
