Ana Maria Marković becomes European Championship columnist for 20 Minuten
Croatian national team player Ana Maria Marković will serve as an expert and columnist for 20 Minuten during the European Soccer Championship.
The home European Championships are just around the corner. From July 2 to 27, the best female footballers in Europe will be competing for the European Championship title at eight locations in Switzerland. One of the most famous female footballers in the world - Ana Maria Marković - will be at the start exclusively for 20 Minuten. As a columnist, she will assess the performances and current issues surrounding the European Football Championship as an expert. The column will appear for the first time shortly before the start of the tournament. Marković will take a closer look at all Nati games.
Ana Maria Marković: "I was born in Switzerland and grew up with football. It means an incredible amount to me to be able to contribute my personal perspective as an active player - especially now that such a big tournament is taking place in my home country. A home tournament is a huge opportunity for Switzerland - in sporting terms, but also socially. I want to use this platform not only to talk about football, but also to give women's football more visibility and weight. I love football with all my heart, and it's precisely this passion that I want to bring to my columns."
Désirée Pomper, editor-in-chief of 20 Minuten: "Ana Maria Marković narrowly missed out on qualifying for the European Championship with Croatia. Now, with her international experience and close proximity to the Swiss national team, she will be analyzing Switzerland's matches exclusively for 20 Minuten throughout the European Championships. She takes a very close look - at the tactics, the dynamics within the team and the big and small moments on and off the pitch. With her expertise and passion for football, she will provide our readers with special insights that are technically sound but understandable for everyone."
Sven Forster, Head of Sport: "The signing of Ana Maria Marković as an expert for 20 Minuten can also be seen as a transfer coup. She played with and against many current national team players. She's one of the biggest names in women's football and I'm sure she'll be a great addition to our team for the European Championships. Ana is not only a great player on the pitch, but also has an understanding of the game at the highest level off the pitch."
