This year, the Mini Srbijada featured 24 teams from all over America \u2013 from Chicago, Miami, Portland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Oklahoma, Nebraska\u2026 A special surprise was the team from Boise, Idaho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis year there were 24 teams. A team from Boise, Idaho, also came. A pleasant surprise since we didn\u2019t know there were Serbs there. FK Sacramento also debuted. Their participation shows how Mini Srbijada is expanding and how our community is growing,\u201d organizers highlighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that is the essence \u2013 every year reveals another spot on the American map where the Serbian heart keeps tradition alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tournament in the Open category was won by the Buffaloes from Bartlesville, Oklahoma, who defeated the Crvenka team from Miami in the grand final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs every year, the competition was extremely strong. In the Open division final, the teams from Miami and Bartlesville played,\u201d the organizers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Buffaloes also dominated the Over 30 category, while the Over 50 category was won by Slavia from Phoenix, Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Results by category:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Open category<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over 30<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best teams and individual players were awarded cash prizes, trophies, and certificates as a lasting memory of their sporting achievement in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Open category won $1,000, Over 30 \u2013 $600, and Over 50 \u2013 $400, along with well-deserved applause from the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The atmosphere on the field and in the courtyard was broadcast by Puls Radio, allowing the voice of Mini Srbijada to be heard across the diaspora, bringing fan energy and emotions directly to those unable to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mini Srbijada is more than football. It\u2019s the crackle of barbecue, lamb cooked under sa\u010d, goulash simmering for hours, pancakes disappearing at the speed of light, and appetizers reminiscent of a traditional slava table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organizers admit it wasn\u2019t easy: \u201cHonestly, organizing it was challenging, as it is every year. The board worked hard to provide everything needed so participants could enjoy food and drinks. Probably the hardest part was gathering and organizing all the people who selflessly helped with meal preparation. I must also mention the women who helped in the kitchen. Without them, we couldn\u2019t have imagined this event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that image \u2013 men at the grill, women in the kitchen, children running with flags \u2013 speaks louder than a thousand words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTHIS CONNECTS US\u201d \u2013 AN EMOTION THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Asked about the importance of Mini Srbijada for the Serbian community in America, the organizers gave a sincere and emotional answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is extremely important for connecting the Serbian community in America. Personally, it\u2019s wonderful to see dear faces every year, especially when we don\u2019t have the chance to see them often. I can\u2019t wait to attend the big Srbijada wherever it is held or our Mini Srbijadas on the West Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Indeed \u2013 Mini Srbijada is much more than a tournament. It\u2019s a place where friendships are renewed, children learn about their identity, and, at least for three days, America transforms into a little Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe impressions of participants and spectators this year were extremely positive, and the majority have already announced they will return next year,\u201d the organizers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event\u2019s significance and symbolism are heightened by the fact that Mini Srbijada takes place in the courtyard of the Church of Saint Simeon Miroto\u010divi, which for years has served not only as a religious center but also as a social gathering hub for the Serbian community on the West Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right there, between the altar and the football field, distances disappear, friendships are renewed, and a sense of belonging to the people and tradition is strengthened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DEPARTURE OF A SERBIAN GENIUS FROM CHICAGO: Dr. Ljubomir Djordjevic, the scientist who invented artificial blood, has passed away!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n BY ORDER OF DONALD TRUMP: America is putting pressure on NATO to withdraw its army from Kosovo and Metohija!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PHOENIX AT THE CROSSROADS OF HISTORY: Why more battles were fought for Belgrade than for any other city in the world!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MASONS IN CHICAGO SAID \u201cNO\u201d TO KOSOVO: The Serbian masonic lodge fought to ensure the Kosovo lodge does not receive recognition!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/Predstavljamo-Mini-Srbijada-1.jpg\")
