Bosnia & Herzegovina Women opened their European League Women campaign with a commanding 3-0 shutout of Georgia Women on 19 June 2026, winning 25-15, 25-19, 25-22. The Bosnian side, playing at home, displayed a polished all-around game that overwhelmed a young Georgian squad still searching for its first win in the competition.

First Set Dominance

The hosts came out firing, racing to an 8-2 lead in the opening set behind the powerful serving of opposite hitter Ajla Hadžić. Georgia struggled to find any rhythm against Bosnia’s relentless jump float serves, registering only a 38% positive reception. The set ended quickly at 25-15, with Bosnia converting 70% of their attacks.

Second and Third Set Drama

Georgia showed improvement in the second set, tying the score at 14-14 after a tactical timeout. However, Bosnia’s setter, Alma Hukič, distributed the ball effectively to all hitters, and a decisive 4-0 run put the home team back in control. The third set was the most competitive, with Georgia pushing to 22-22 before Bosnia’s block-defense duo of Milica Šuput and Amra Bajraktarević shut down two consecutive Georgian attacks to seal the sweep.

Standout Players

• Ajla Hadžić (Bosnia & Herzegovina) – Match high of 16 points (12 kills, 3 aces, 1 block). Her serving run in the first set set the tone.
• Marija Mihajlović (Bosnia & Herzegovina) – 11 points with a 57% attacking efficiency, proving a reliable option from the left.
• Ana Gakhokidze (Georgia) – Contributed 8 points but was limited to 28% hitting efficiency due to Bosnia’s effective blocking.

Looking Ahead

The victory gives Bosnia & Herzegovina Women a crucial early boost in the European League group standings, where every point matters for qualification to the final round. Georgia, meanwhile, will aim to regroup and focus on their next match, knowing that improvement in serve receive will be essential. For Bosnia, the balance between attack and defense looks promising, and they will hope to carry this momentum into the next clash against Montenegro.
