Ana Maria Markovic, the Croatian footballer often dubbed the "world's most beautiful footballer," has completed a groundbreaking transfer to Brooklyn FC in the U.S. alongside her sister Kiki Markovic. The duo will debut in the USL Super League, America's top-tier women's soccer division, which shares equal standing with the NWSL.
Ana Maria, 25, joins Brooklyn FC after stints with Portugal's Damainese and Braga, while 24-year-old Kiki arrives from Switzerland's FC Rapperswil-Jona. The move marks their first professional venture outside Europe. "Signing with Brooklyn FC is thrilling," Ana Maria said. "The club's energy is unmatched, and sharing this journey with my sister adds to the magic." Kiki echoed the sentiment, calling their partnership "a lifelong dream."
Both sisters have represented Croatia internationally and built reputations beyond the pitch. Ana Maria boasts 3 million Instagram followers, sharing glimpses of her athletic and personal life, while Kiki engages 18,900 followers with updates on her career. Together, they co-founded RELOADZ, a Swiss vegan protein water brand.
Brooklyn FC, entering its second season, aims to leverage the siblings' experience and star power. "We're here to compete and inspire," Kiki added. The transfer underscores the growing global appeal of the USL Super League as it vies for prominence in women's soccer.
