Head coach Dragan Stojkovic announced the Serbian squad for the upcoming UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany. The Serbs have emerged as a dangerous team over the past few years with many incredible players coming up the ranks. Serbia hasn't played in Euros since 2000 when they competed as the Former Republic of Yugoslavia and finished as quarter-finalists but were part of the previous four World Cups.
In Qatar 2022, Serbia had a disappointing World Cup campaign as they finished last in their group alongside, Brazil, Switzerland and Cameroon. Since that disappointment, the Serbs finished second in their qualification campaign to seal a spot in Group C.
