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.

Club career

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. 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.

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 with the shortage of first-team football, so moved to Sporting Huelva. Her appearances were curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain.

Jelenčić made her league debut for Parma against Inter Milan on 28 August 2022.

On 16 July 2020, Jelenčić was announced at Hellas Verona on a contract until 30 June 2021. On 24 July 2021, she signed a contract extension until 30 June 2022.

On 17 July 2023, Jelenčić was announced at Servette on a contract until 2025. She made her league debut against Luzern on 26 August 2023. Jelenčić scored her first league goal against Thun on 14 September 2024, scoring in the 86th minute.

International career

Jelenčić has been capped for the Croatia national team, appearing for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle.

Jelenčić 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. Jelenčić scored her first international goal against Moldova on 30 November 2021, scoring in the 76th minute.

Jelenčić was part of the team that was called up for the 2020 Cyprus Women's Cup.
