Houston Dash Lock Up Serbian Forward Miljana Ivanovic Through 2028

The Houston Dash announced Thursday that they have signed Serbian forward Miljana Ivanovic to a contract that will keep her with the club through the 2028 NWSL season.

Ivanovic, 26, makes the move to Houston following a transfer from Swedish club Malmo FF, where she netted nine goals across 23 appearances.

Before heading to Sweden in July 2025, the forward had previously played for clubs in England, Norway, and Serbia, building a resume across several competitive European leagues.

Dash president of women’s soccer Angela Hucles Mangano highlighted what the new signing brings to the team. “(She) brings a blend of technical quality, competitiveness and versatility to our roster,” Mangano said. “She has competed in demanding environments throughout her career and we believe her mentality and experience will be valuable additions to our group.”

On the international stage, Ivanovic has represented Serbia in 35 matches since her national team debut in 2019, finding the back of the net eight times for her home country.
