Silvija POPOVIC
Bio
She has an extremely important role in the team, but you will rarely see her in the background. She is ready to fight for every ball, and because of her, the other players feel safe when the point starts. She is the libero of the Serbian national team - Silvija Popović. There is no lost ball for her. She raises his teammates with his fighting spirit. Brave and determined, she performs all tasks.
