Club career

[edit]

Damnjanović, who played football for FC Perspektiva in her youth, later moved to first division club ŽFK Crvena zvezda. At the end of the 2012/13 season, she and her team reached second place in the Serbian Super League, the highest division in Serbian football.[2] In 2012 she and her team reached the cup final, achieving second place after a 1-2 loss after extra time against ŽFK Spartak Subotica.[3]

In the summer of 2013, she was signed by Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg. On 7 September 2013 (1st matchday) she made her debut in the Bundesliga in the 1-1 draw in the home game against FC Bayern Munich, coming on as a substitute for Martina Müller in the 73rd minute. With VfL Wolfsburg she won 2013–14 UEFA Champions League and became the first Serbian women's player to achieve this feat.[4]

After two seasons, she moved to league rivals SC Sand in the summer of 2015.[5]

On 10 March 2017 she signed a 3-year contract with German champions Bayern Munich. She made her debut for Bayern Munich on 5 November 2017 (7th matchday) in a 3-1 win in the home game against MSV Duisburg, coming on as a substitute for Lucie Voňková in the 62nd minute. In August 2024, Damnjanovic extended her contract with Bayern Munich for a fourth time and signed a new deal until 30 June 2027.[6][7]

On 23 February 2010,[8] she made her debut at the age of 15 in the A national team in a test international match against the Hungary selection, which unfortunately resulted in a 1-0 loss. She was replaced in the 57th minute.
