To fly higher, Serbian Eagles now need your support.
The new European championship campaign started in 2019. Serbia was ranked 8th and set to play against the national teams of Czechia and France. In the first EC game, Serbia defeated a strong and athletic Czech team in a very tough and physical match (IFAF 2020 Srbija - Czech Rep 16 - 0). After this exhausting game, Serbia faced France, the reigning European champion and one of the biggest European football powerhouses to have ever played. Even though Serbian national team outplayed the mighty French (more yards and first downs taken), luck and experience were on the side of our opponent IFAF France-Srbija 13 - 7.
This impressive effort of the Serbian athletes enabled them to compete to enter the top 5 teams in Europe. In order to do that Serbian national team has to face two tough and potent opponents.
First game will be played against Austria, vice champion of Europe and home of most of the top European football teams. The game will be played in Vienna on the 8th of August. Second game will be played in October against one of the mighty national teams - Denmark or Great Britain.
All our successes were achieved by immense personal sacrifice and hard work of our players, coaches and team staff. In order to compete at the highest level in Europe we will need more than just our hearts and muscles.
