Bio
Maja Ognjenović is a symbol of the women's volleyball national team of Serbia. She was on the court when we won the first major medal with the senior women’s national team at the 2006 World Championship. She was also there in 2018, when the team won gold at the same competition. Her courage, audacity and different perspective on the game made her one of the best setters of all time.
The current European and world champions of the selection of Serbia against Italy will fight for the gold medal in the final. Serbian volleyball players will try to defend and win the third consecutive gold. The Italians reached the finals with a victory over the Netherlands, while Serbia defeated the Turkish team in the semifinals.
