Team profile
The Serbian women’s team is presently ranked ninth by the FIVB. Over the past five years the “Blue Ladies” have achieved some notable results that have brought them to the level of the finest teams in the world.

The rise of the Serbian women’s team started with the bronze medal at the 2006 World Championship in Japan, followed by the silver medal at the 2007 European Championship.

For the first time ever in the history of Serbian volleyball, the “Blue Ladies” took part in the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 and finished fifth.

For the next three years (2009, 2010 and 2011), the women’s team won the CEV European League, making them the only winners of this competition.

This year, the “Blue Ladies” will participate for the first time in the FIVB World Grand Prix. Jelena Nikolic returns to the team after injury problems and Vesna Citakovic-Djurisic is coming back after being absent for three years. With these two players, the young and talented Serbian team will pose a threat to every rival in the competition.
