The sports agency B4 Sports will once again organize the international tournament The Slovenia Nations Cup, where Slovenia will also participate. As previously reported, Alessandro Blažič, the talented goalkeeper from Köln, will be donning the Slovenian jersey. Coach Mišo Brečko has confirmed this by including the former German youth international on the roster for the tournament.
Slovenia’s youth national team will face Qatar (September 5 in Preddvor), Poland (September 7 in Ljubljana), and Ireland (September 10 in Kranjska Gora) in the group stage. Mišo Brečko will have several promising players at his disposal, including Luka Topalović from Inter, Lovro Golič from Roma, and Dominik Drobnič, a defender from Parma. Kristjan Bendra, who already plays for Red Bull Salzburg’s reserve team, and David Pejičić have also received call-ups. Additionally, Erik Kojzek, who scored 4 goals in his first 5 matches in senior football, will make his debut for Slovenia.
“The tournament will serve as a valuable preparation for the November qualifiers. All players will get a chance to play, but they will also have to prove themselves through hard work in training,” coach Mišo Brečko told the NZS website.
