Part of the Slovenian delegation in Hamburg, where the European Football Association (UEFA) drew the groups for Euro 2024, included Radenko Mijatović. The President of the Slovenian Football Association (NZS) emphasized that luck was certainly not on our side once it became clear that the Slovenian national team would face Denmark, Serbia, and England.
However, Radenko Mijatović remains confident that Coach Matjaž Kek’s team will be up to the challenges they’ll face in the matches in Stuttgart, Munich, and Cologne.
“We always hope to draw theoretically easier opponents in these draws. This time I can’t say we were lucky because we got really tough opponents. But anyhow, Slovenia is at the Euros. The guys will prepare well, and I think we’ll compete well in this group too. It won’t be easy, but I believe the guys want a good performance. I also believe we won’t disappoint,” said Radenko Mijatović for the NZS website after the draw in Hamburg.
Slovenia will play its first match in Euro 2024 on June 16 when they face Denmark in Stuttgart. Four days later, they’ll have a spectacle in Munich, where they’ll clash with old acquaintances, Serbia, at the Allianz Arena. The group stage for Slovenia will end on July 25 in Cologne with a match against England.
