TEAM PROFILE<br />
It was not long ago that Serbian women’s handball was reasonably close to being<br />
the world’s benchmark. At the Women’s EHF <strong>EURO</strong> 2012 the team came fourth<br />
and one year later they won silver at the World <strong>Champ</strong>ionship 2013 - both events<br />
took place in Serbia.<br />
However, ever since there have been more downs than ups. At the Women’s EHF<br />
<strong>EURO</strong> 2014 they were knocked out after the preliminary round, the Women’s<br />
World <strong>Champ</strong>ionship 2015 they even missed out on initially and were only<br />
allowed to participate because of a wild card granted to them by the International<br />
Handball Federation.<br />
Former key players like Andrea Lekic and Dragana Cvijic have stopped playing<br />
internationally, so it is up to younger generation of players to bring the team back<br />
to the top. The qualification for the Women’s EHF <strong>EURO</strong> 2016 might have been<br />
the first sign of this. After six rounds of matches Serbia topped their group with<br />
five wins and one draw ahead of the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Italy.<br />
