The call-up for Rajkovic comes after an exceptional season with Al-Ittihad, where he played a pivotal role in the team's victory in the Roshan Saudi League, through his decisive saves and consistent performance.

Despite missing several matches due to injury, Aleksandar Mitrovic continued to deliver strong performances with Al-Hilal, which qualified him for a return to the Serbian national team.

The Serbian national team is preparing to face two crucial matches against Albania and Andorra in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, hoping to secure full points.

The inclusion of Rajkovic and Mitrovic in their national team underscores the increasing impact of the Saudi league on the international stage, with the rising presence of its professionals in major European national teams.
