A player born in Slovenia will also play at the European Championship in Hungary: Leo Rimac on the Croatian selector’s list
While
the Slovenian national team
is already preparing for the upcoming European Championship in Hungary, Robert Jarni, Croatia’s selector, only today announced the list of players he will count on for the final tournament. As expected and predicted, the Slovenian-born and -raised footballer Leo Rimac is also on the list.
Leo Rimac, after his beginnings in Škofja Loka, then played for
Olimpija
and last year said goodbye to both Ljubljana and Slovenia. He signed for Dinamo Zagreb and was soon called up to the Croatian U-17 national team, for which he has already played 14 games and scored 5 goals. Among other things, the 17-year-old hit the net for his home country’s national team in the last qualifying match between Croatia and Slovenia.
Let’s add that most of the Croatian national players play for their home clubs (eight of them wear the jersey of Dinamo Zagreb), the most notable being Sergej Levak, a member of the
Roma
, and Leon Lalic, who is with Red Bull Salzburg. Croatia will play England, Switzerland and the Netherlands in the preliminary round of the European Championship.
