Stožice are not the only stadium in Slovenia where the Slovenian Football Association (NZS) can organize top-level matches. However, despite that fact, the national team will play all home matches in Ljubljana in 2024. Maribor’s Ljudski Vrt has been “overlooked once again,” even though, after thorough renovation, the facility in the Styrian capital offers great comfort to all visitors. NZS explained the decision for Stožice to remain the exclusive home for Coach Matjaž Kek’s team to the newspaper Večer.
“We always strive to provide the best possible conditions for the preparation and performance of all our teams. Decisions regarding the locations of matches are based on comprehensive consideration and take into account numerous factors that influence the success of the teams,” communicated the organization from Brda pri Kranju, where the central office is located, to the Večer newspaper.
The association, led by President Radenko Mijatović, continued: “The decision to choose the venue for the matches of the national team depends on various factors, always focusing primarily on the most important goal – to provide the best possible conditions for the preparation of the team for upcoming matches. We consider factors such as stadium capacity, pitch quality, geographical location, parking facilities, as well as the desires of players and management. The National Football Center at Brda pri Kranju plays a special role, offering excellent training and accommodation conditions, a convenient location near the hotel and airport, and economic advantages. This is particularly important in logistics and match preparation.”
