Ana Jelenčić (born 8 June 1994) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a left back for Servette Chênois and the Croatia women's national team.
Jelenčić joined a women's football team as a complete beginner when she was 13 years old. As a young player she spent a short, unhappy spell at BV Cloppenburg of the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga, then moved to Poland on the recommendation of her Croatian team-mate Leonarda Balog.[1] In 26 Ekstraliga Kobiet appearances for Zagłębie Lubin, Jelenčić scored one goal and received eight yellow cards. She then moved to Lithuanian UEFA Women's Champions League contestants Gintra-Universitetas, before returning to Polish football with AZS PWSZ Wałbrzych in February 2017.[2]
Although she was successful in Poland, Jelenčić transferred to Norwegian Toppserien club Avaldsnes IL in 2019 because she wanted to test herself at a higher level and earn better wages. She was soon unhappy at a shortage of first-team football, so moved to Sporting Huelva where her appearances were curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain.
Jelenčić has been capped for the Croatia national team, appearing for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle.[3]
She progressed through the national youth teams where she had enjoyed working with the coach Dean Klafurić. She made her senior national team debut in May 2011, as a substitute in a 1–1 draw with Hungary.[4]
