Sara Cetinja (Serbian Cyrillic: Сара Цетиња, born 16 April 2000) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Italian Serie A club Lazio and the Serbia women's national team, after previously playing for Inter Milan.

Club career

[edit]

On 12 February 2014 Cetinja signed her first contract with national champions ŽFK Spartak Subotica, following seven years in the youth teams at FK „Prof. Bolesnikov“.[1] She made her Serbian Women's Super League debut for the club on 31 August 2015.[2]

In October 2020, Cetinja transferred to AS Nancy Lorraine of the French Division 2 Féminine.[3] She made two league appearances,[4] before the club requested its own demotion to the regional categories at the end of the season.[5]

On 27 July 2021, it was announced that Cetinja had moved from Nancy to newly-promoted Serie A club Pomigliano.[6]

Cetinja joined Inter Milan for the 2023-24 season, starting in goal in 23 of their 28 league games.[7] After one season with the Nerazzurri, Cetinja moved to newly-promoted Lazio in August 2024.[8]

International career

[edit]

Cetinja made her first appearance for the senior Serbia women's national football team on 17 June 2019, in a 3–2 friendly win over Romania at the headquarters of the Football Association of Serbia at Stara Pazova.[9]

In October 2021, Cetinja played the full match as a Serbia team depleted by injuries and COVID-19 lost their 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifier 2–1 to Portugal at Estádio do Bonfim in Setúbal.[10]
