UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) received a whopping 344,000 requests for tickets for the matches of the Slovenian national team at Euro 2024 in December. Due to the significantly overwhelming demand (with only 10,000 tickets available for each match), the recipients of these coveted pieces of paper will be determined by a lottery, which UEFA plans to organize by the end of the month. In the meantime, national team coach Matjaž Kek has also commented in a somewhat humorous way on who would deserve tickets to the matches against Denmark, Serbia, and England the most.
“Many friends, even those who are not particularly interested in football, would like to attend the Euro 2024 matches. But to them, I say: the tickets will go to those who were at the match against San Marino in Stožice! And I mean it seriously. Absolutely seriously,” Matjaž Kek stated in a podcast on the website Metropolitan.si.
The experienced Maribor native also does not hide his satisfaction because the summer in Slovenia will be marked by a rarely seen football euphoria: “I am really happy that there is such euphoria. Next summer will be interesting not only because of the Tour de France, the European Championships in volleyball and basketball but also because of ‘football.’ I am looking forward to it.
