The Slovenian national football team had its final training session on home soil at Brdo pri Kranju before the start of Euro 2024. Coach Matjaž Kek will take his players to Wuppertal in the afternoon, where they will await the start of the European Championship and – of course – their first match against Denmark. This match will take place on Sunday when Kek’s team will face Denmark in Stuttgart. The coach will take 26 footballers on the journey, and the crucial detail before the flight to Germany is that Matjaž Kek has not yet decided on any changes to the player roster.
The possibility of changes was hinted at by the Maribor native after the draw with Bulgaria. At that time, he revealed that Benjamin Verbič, Petar Stojanović, and Miha Blažič were doubtful, but they trained with the rest of the team on Tuesday and apparently passed the final test before departing to Germany. According to UEFA rules, Matjaž Kek has the option to make changes before the first match for anyone who is unable to play at Euro 2024. The green light for changes should also be given by UEFA’s special health committee.
It is worth noting that the Slovenian national team will depart for Germany from Ljubljana Airport (Brnik), where they are expected to arrive from Brdo pri Kranju around 4:00 PM. The plane carrying the precious cargo will take off at approximately 5:00 PM, with the destination being Düsseldorf. The team will then board a bus, and after about an hour’s drive, they will arrive at their destination in Wuppertal, where they will stay until the end of their appearances at Euro 2024.
