More than 400 kids spend time with Serbian national team players in latest stop of #EuroVolleyW Trophy Tour

More than 400 young girls and boys from four elementary schools attended a special event held in the park Raća Petrović in the municipality of Ub, where they could meet with the reigning European and World champions - the senior women’s national team of Serbia. The young fans had the opportunity to see with their own eyes the glittering #EuroVolleyW trophy, spend time with some of the top players in the world and receive valuable gifts. The principals of all four schools received one volleyball each, and the luckiest kids got in total five signed official team uniforms and 15 more signed volleyballs. 

The children had the opportunity to play a couple of points with their idols and of course, no one missed the opportunity to take a photo with the two-time-in-a-row European champions.

As part of the ongoing preparations for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and the EuroVolley 2021 coming up later this summer in Belgrade, there are 17 players currently training in Ub. The group includes Maja Ognjenović, Sladjana Mirković, Rada Perović, Tijana Bošković, Ana Bjelica, Mina Mijatović, Silvija Popović, Teodora Pušić, Milena Rašić, Stefana Veljković, Mina Popović, Maja Aleksić, Hena Kurtagić, Brankica Mihajlović, Jelena Blagojević, Bjanka Buša, and Bojana Milenković.
