Long-serving ÖFB international Aleksandar Dragovic was honored on Tuesday before the European Championship test match against Serbia for his 100 caps for the Austrian national soccer team. The central defender played his anniversary match in March 2022 against Scotland (2:2).

It was his last ÖFB match to date. The 33-year-old, who is leaving Red Star Belgrade in the summer after winning three doubles in a row, has never been considered under team boss Ralf Rangnick.

Debut against Serbia
Dragovic received his award from ÖFB President Klaus Mitterdorfer and Sports Director Peter Schöttel to great applause in the packed Ernst Happel Stadium. The Viennese played his first international match on June 6, 2009 against Serbia - the country from which his parents hail. At the age of 18, he made his debut in central defense in the 0:1 World Cup qualifier in Belgrade. Dragovic scored two goals in his 100 international appearances. He played for the ÖFB team at both Euro 2016 and Euro 2021.
