In the organization of the agency B4Sports, this year’s international representative tournament Slovenia Nations Cup 2024 has begun, featuring football players under the age of nineteen. Slovenia, under the guidance of coach Mišo Brečko, initially faced Qatar and had to settle for a draw. The match ended 1:1, and interestingly, the game on the new pitch in Preddvor concluded after 75 minutes. The players were forced off the field due to heavy rain, which led to the early termination of the match.
“”This was not our best match; we needed 15 minutes to start playing relaxed. We need to improve in many areas. Unfortunately, due to the weather, only 75 minutes were played in the end,“” said coach Mišo Brečko after the 1:1 draw. Slovenia took the lead in the 35th minute when Gal Kranjčič, a player from Domžale, scored. For Qatar, Bassam Adel Eid found the net in the 69th minute.
Brečko’s team, which started the match with the lineup Jovanović, Tomšič, Anželj, Zabukovnik, Drobnič, Bajc, Dovžan, Kozjek, Kranjčič, Jelen, Hrvatin, will be back in action in the tournament on Saturday when they face Poland in Ljubljana. In addition to the home team, Qatar, and Poland, the Slovenia Nations Cup 2024 also features Mexico, Iceland, Ireland, France, and Kazakhstan.
