She scored after three minutes in the opening 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying match against Germany in Chemnitz on 21 September 2021, but Serbia were beaten 5–1.
In October 2021, Matejić scored again as a Serbia team depleted by injuries and COVID-19 lost their next qualifier 2–1 to Portugal at Estádio do Bonfim in Setúbal.[5]
