Footballer Ana Maria Markovic stuns fans with acting debut

Markovic posted on Instagram: 'Had the best time. Thanks @denner_schweiz for this unforgettable experience! Acting in The Socceritos was definitely not on my bingo card…what an experience!'

Career Moves and Criticism

Markovic's move to Hajduk Split marks her fifth club in three seasons, following stints in the US with Brooklyn FC and in Portugal and Switzerland. She shared a video of her signing and first training session with her 2.7 million Instagram followers, captioned 'New chapter'.

However, some fans have questioned her on-field contributions. Stats show she last scored in February 2023 for Grasshopper, and at Brooklyn FC she managed just one assist in 23 matches. One critic commented, 'Does anyone even know when she last scored a goal? It’s all just for the photo op and nothing else…' Another said, 'Good advertising, but zero points in terms of gameplay.'
