Matija Sarkic, Millwall and Montenegro Goalkeeper, Dies at 26
Player Reportedly Fell Ill in Montenegro
Montenegrin state-owned TV station RTCG reported that Sarkic went for a walk with friends, had dinner at a restaurant, and returned to his apartment early. He is believed to have told friends he felt ill after waking up around 6 am, prompting them to call an ambulance, but it was too late. Reports indicate that Sarkic fell ill at an apartment in Budva, Montenegro, on Saturday morning.
The Millwall club announced in a post: "Millwall Football Club is completely devastated to announce that Matija Sarkic has passed away at the age of 26. Everyone at the club sends their love and condolences to Matija’s family and friends at this immensely sad time. The club will make no further comment at this time and asks that the privacy of Matija’s family is respected."
Born in Grimsby, Sarkic began his career in Anderlecht’s academy before joining Aston Villa in 2015. He had loan spells at Wigan, Stratford, Havant & Waterlooville, and Livingston before moving to Wolves in 2020. He played 60 games during loan spells at Shrewsbury, Birmingham, and Stoke before joining Millwall last August, where he made 33 appearances.
Sarkic made his Montenegro debut against Belarus in 2019 and was on international duty last week for a friendly against Belgium.
The Montenegro FA paid tribute to him: "A beloved member of the ‘Brave Falcons,’ an eternally smiling guy, played for our ‘A’ selection in nine games, showing his importance to the team. Together with his twin brother Oliver, he passed through all the junior categories of the Montenegrin national team. In the jersey of that iconic London club [Millwall], he left his mark, which was yet to become part of a bigger and more beautiful story. Premature death stopped that and caused great pain to the Sarkic family. The Football Association of Montenegro expresses its sincere condolences to the Sarkic family."
Several football clubs worldwide have paid their tributes on social media. Fans are mourning the loss of this young player and expressing their grief and shock. One social media user commented, "BREAKING: He was just 26 😢. Covid vaccines was it? Healthiest people in life and they have these issues. Athletes don’t get heart attacks, come on. They're built for that lifestyle, and more and more athletes are getting these problems now."
Details about his death and funeral preparations will likely be announced later.
May his soul rest in peace.
