Although there’s still more than half a year until Euro 2024, the Football Association of Slovenia and Matjaž Kek are already deeply immersed in the work that comes with qualification for the major tournament. The coach of the Slovenian national team is primarily focused on organizing the preparations, and the plan for that is more or less set.
Slovenia will conduct the majority of its Euro 2024 preparations on home soil, precisely at the National Football Centre in Brdo pri Kranju, where they have virtually everything they need. Matjaž Kek has never hidden his enthusiasm for the facilities available under the Gorenjska mountains.
The players will then travel to Germany at the last moment, with their base in the country hosting the upcoming European Championship located in Wuppertal. Wuppertal is a city with approximately 360,000 inhabitants in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, 400 kilometers from Stuttgart, 600 kilometers from Munich, and just 50 kilometers from Cologne.
The Slovenian delegation already visited Wuppertal on November 27 and seemed pleased with what they saw. Slovenia will likely stay at the idyllic, nature-surrounded Das Vesper hotel, previously used by Bayern, and train at the Stadion am Zoo, where a new grass surface will be laid in the spring.
“We are still awaiting some confirmations, but (Wuppertal, ed. a.) is generally true. Coach Matjaž Kek will conduct the majority of the preparations at our base in Brdo pri Kranju, and a few days before the first match, the national team will move to Germany,” confirmed the president of the Football Association of Slovenia, Radenko Mijatović, to Delo.
