For the first time in their history, Serbia walked onto the World Cup stage. Radomir Antić led the squad into the unknown.
Serbia found moments of promise but ultimately fell short of the consistency needed to progress beyond the group stage. Goals proved hard to come by, with just 2 in 3 matches, and their lack of firepower ultimately told.
Serbia endured a difficult group stage, unable to advance despite moments of resistance. Their campaign featured a narrow 0-1 loss to Ghana, a hard-fought 1-0 win against Germany, and a narrow 1-2 loss to Australia. Despite moments of quality, it was not enough to advance, and Serbia's campaign ended at the the group phase.
