Time flies and there are – believe it or not – only 38 days left until Euro 2024. When it begins, it will truly be in the spotlight, undoubtedly also featuring Aleksander Čeferin, primarily due to his role as the president of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). This European Championship will be particularly special for him because Slovenia will also be participating.
Slovenia will be playing in the continental tournament for the first time in a long 24 years, and Aleksander Čeferin isn’t particularly euphoric about the chances of Matjaž Kek’s team, who will be playing in a group with Denmark, Serbia, and England. He cautiously emphasizes the group’s difficulty, suggesting the need to remain realistic.
“This is a tough group. Whatever we manage to achieve will be good. It’s already good that we qualified for the European Championship after 24 years. We need to seek opportunities against Denmark and Serbia because I fear England is too strong,” said the lawyer from Grosuplje in an interview with Delo.
Aleksander Čeferin, formerly the president of the Football Association of Slovenia, added: “During a small football game, which also involved several former Slovenian internationals, we recently discussed this very topic: they all believe that England has never been as strong as it is now, the French and Portuguese are also of exceptional quality. Belgians and Dutch could surprise, but I don’t see Italians at the top. All of the aforementioned teams have excellent attackers, which is crucial.”
