It marked a new beginning for the Serbian national team, led by a new captain: Nottingham Forest defender Nikola Milenkovic.
And new eras, as it usually happens, come after a lot of turbulence.
When Serbia exited Euro 2024 at the group stage, the future of the squad seemed quite uncertain.
The captain - former Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic - openly criticised coach Dragan Stojkovic and later announced he was retiring from international duty.
Everyone thought the captain’s armband would go to Aleksandar Mitrovic, former Newcastle United and Fulham striker. But that is when things got complicated.
The media wrote about the open rebellion against Stojkovic in the locker room, with some players not wanting to play for him any more. Mitrovic was allegedly one of them, but nothing was confirmed officially.
A couple of months down the line and Serbia's record scorer - as well as Sergej Milinkovic-Savic - were not available to play for their country in these Nations League matches because of injury. Both were later seen in training for their Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.
Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic also did not join up, citing "private reasons.
It left Serbia with a very different looking set of players, and still without a captain.
Stojkovic chose Milenkovic, who had the most caps (58) of the players who answered their international call-up.
"I am glad I decided to make him the captain, he fully justified the role," Stojkovic said after the 0-0 draw with Spain.
Milenkovic added that the armband is a "great honour and responsibility”, but also the "crown of his career".
A transfer to the Premier League and a promotion to captain of your national team.
Not bad for one summer.

Gibbs-White is one of four uncapped players brought in by interim head coach Lee Carsley for Nations Leagues games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland.
The Forest midfielder worked with Carsley when playing for England's age group teams and was part of the side that won the Under-21 European Championship in Georgia in June 2023.
"It is going to be interesting to see how these young lads do - are they going to be the next golden generation?" Anderson said. "Everyone is crossing their fingers and hoping that is the case.
"But going from the Under-21s to the full England senior squad is a big, big step - some people wilt and some people will take the challenge on, just like Phil Foden did.
"He revels in playing for England and I think that is the attitude you have got to take. I look at Tino Livramento and Gibbs-White and they are decent players and will be looking forward to making the step up.
"Only time will tell [but] you have to give them the opportunity, then will they grasp it with both hands? Or do they do just OK and then the manager could think 'I am not sure he is quite ready for the big internationals'."
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked you for your views on how Nottingham Forest have started the season - and where you thought they might finish.
A whopping 83% of respondents opted for 11th-17th - and the comments we received are reflective of that:
Des: Careful, considered and balanced window. Tremendous work that gives me great hope and optimism for the coming season. It was a shame about the strikers but I prefer to be with our two plus potential replacements from within the squad if they are injured or not up to form rather than the usual panic buys/loans!
Quilty: I'm really looking forward to what James Ward Prowse is going to bring to the squad this season - he's proven to be a class act. An excellent addition to the team. I don't know too much about the other recent acquisitions but feel that if Nuno gets it right tactically and is prepared to give it a go, I'm optimistic of a mid-table position.
Kris: After three games it’s hard to draw too many conclusions, but one thing that stands out is our tendency to switch off. Against Bournemouth and Wolves, we’ve conceded goals that were easily avoided, dropping four points in the process. I’m hoping Nikola Milenkovic continues to impress in defence and Ward Prowse can improve our goal return from set pieces.
Neil: A shrewd transfer window has been great to see and that we have been able to bolster and improve the bones of a side that is growing in confidence and understanding of one another. I have high hopes for a more comfortable season and a finish on or around mid table.
Dave: We're looking more solid so far but the test will be against the so-called bigger teams and how we cope against them. If we start turning draws into wins and become more clinical with our chances, I think we should be OK. Finishing 14-15th would be fine with me and we can push on from there.
Image source, Getty ImagesRadio Solent's sports editor Adam Blackmore has given BBC Radio Nottingham's Shut Up And Show More Football podcast the lowdown on what former Southampton man James Ward-Prowse will bring to Nottingham Forest.
Ward-Prowse's season-long loan move from West Ham was confirmed on deadline day with the 29-year-old boasting 343 Premier League appearances worth of experience.
"Rarely injured, rarely misses a game and he gives you a consistent level of performance," Blackmore told David Jackson.
"You might want a midfielder who can give you more nine and 10s out of 10 but James Ward-Prowse will rarely give you less than seven.
"What you get as a manager is knowing what you get with James. You're getting a player who can deliver what you ask him to do and turn up day in day out.
"He's as professional as they come and I think he's an asset to any club, not just on the pitch but off the pitch in the way he lives his life. He's an example to young players which is also a great strength of his which is worth having around a dressing room.
"You look at Danilo's injury and he's the perfect replacement. Last week, Forest won at Southampton with Elliot Anderson slightly out of position but to have Ward-Prowse in there with his engine as well and Morgan Gibbs-White ahead of them - I like that."

Image source, Getty ImagesNottingham Forest were deducted four points in March after an independent commission ruled the club's losses to 2022-23 breached the allowed threshold by £34.5m.
Forest's maximum loss was limited to £61m as they spent two years of the assessment period in the Championship.
They failed with an appeal in May but survived relegation by finishing 17th last season, six points above the drop zone.
It is not clear whether this ruling means the Premier League has no authority to take action for any period where a club is not a member, or just to charge them at the end of a three-year cycle.
The Premier League may need to tighten the rules in this case.
