The ‘world’s sexiest footballer’ Ana Maria Markovic has left millions of fans foaming at the mouth after dropping her most pulse-racing lingerie snaps yet
Blonde bombshell Ana Maria Markovic has sensationally packed her bags and ditched the USA for a shock return to her homeland.
The 26-year-old stunner – often dubbed the “world’s most beautiful footballer” – is swapping the Big Apple for the Balkans after signing on the dotted line for Croatian outfit ZNK Hajduk in her hometown of Split on the sun-kissed coast of the Adriatic Sea.
Markovic has amassed a staggering army of Instagram followers – 2.7million and counting – who regularly flock to her page to drool over her pulse-racing content. It’s no surprise since her grid is absolutely littered with saucy lingerie snaps, sizzling bikini shots and glamorous off-pitch poses that leave her millions of adoring fans weak at the knees.

But despite her jaw-dropping figure and red-hot side-hustle as a social media star, the Croatian international is desperate to prove she’s more than just a pretty face.
After a brief stint playing Stateside with Brooklyn FC alongside her sister Kiki Markovic, the gorgeous forward has decided it’s time to head home for a massive career shake-up.
Putting pen to paper with Hajduk, Ana Maria revealed the transfer is a “dream come true” – a move that holds special meaning because her mother’s side of the family hails from the historic coastal city.
The leggy beauty’s footballing journey – which began in the country of her birth, Switzerland – hasn’t been without its hurdles, though. Back in 2023, she suffered a nasty knee injury that forced her onto the sidelines for a lengthy and arduous rehab.
During her time away from the game, the Croatian cutie kept her dedicated fanbase thoroughly entertained with a steady stream of scintillating holiday snaps and cheeky photoshoots. But make no mistake – Ana Maria means business.
Donning the No. 23 shirt for her new club – her fifth in two years – she’s on a mission to silence the doubters and get back to doing what she does best.
While she’s guaranteed to keep melting the internet with her racy uploads off the pitch, the world’s most gorgeous goalscorer wants to make sure it’s her deadly finishing that dominates the headlines this season.
Even as the summer fades into autumn, expect temperatures in Split to reach absolute boiling point whenever this red-hot forward steps onto the turf.
