Injury prediction is one of the most challenging issues in sports and a key component for injury prevention since the successful identification of injury predictors forms the basis for effective preventive measures. Nowadays, football is one of the most popular sports in the world, not only for men but also for women. To prevent injuries in football in time, it is important to know the risk factors that cause injuries. This work aimed to determine the risk factors for the occurrence of injuries in athletes of the 2nd Croatian Women's Football League. 25 female soccer players from the Višnjevac Women's Soccer Club from Osijek, aged 18 to 32, participated in the research. The respondents filled out a questionnaire whose questions related to injury and intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors of injury. The results showed that risk factors such as the coach's influence, poor sleep quality, weather conditions, length of recovery, and dominant leg affect the occurrence of injuries. Also, poorly conducted rehabilitation, insufficient rest, and inadequate recovery, as well as previous injuries, are risk factors for the occurrence of injuries. Understanding the risk factors for soccer injuries is a key step in reducing the incidence and severity of injuries among players. Athletes, coaches and the entire team around athletes must be educated and aware of the importance of injury prevention. Continuous work on improving the preparation of each athlete and ensuring optimal conditions for training and competition can significantly contribute to reducing the risk of injuries and maintaining the health of athletes on a long-term level.
