Early life

Aged 14, Marković began playing football in Switzerland; she stated that she began playing after feeling motivated from the growth of women's football.[5] While in Switzerland she featured for U21 squad at FC Zurich for three seasons before making the move to Grasshoppers.[citation needed]
In the game against her former club FC Zürich on 4 March 2023, Marković suffered a torn ACL and torn meniscus.[6]

On 21 July 2026, Marković was announced at ŽNK Hajduk.[14]
International career
Having caught the eye of the Croatian Football Federation while playing for Grasshopper in Switzerland, Marković has been called up to play for the Croatia national team.[5] She scored her first international goal in the 2023 World Cup qualifier against Moldova.[15]
