Neighboring Austria, familiar opponent Norway, and at the same time Kazakhstan, with whom Slovenia competed in the qualifiers for Euro 2024. These are the opponents that Matjaž Kek (if he is still the coach at that time…) and his team will face in the next season of the Nations League, set to begin in September and competitively significant as it will lead to additional qualifications for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Following the draw in Paris, where Aleksander Čeferin announced on Wednesday that he will bid farewell to the position of UEFA president at the end of his current term, Slovenian coach Matjaž Kek shared his thoughts on the opponents in the competition starting in September this year. “In our group, we have Austria, which, in my opinion, is one of the best teams in Europe, along with Norway and Kazakhstan, with whom we practically played a few days ago. The group is competitive, and I am confident that it will pose many questions for Slovenia. After all, it must be so,” emphasized Matjaž Kek.
