The Slovenian U17 women’s national team began the Nations Tournament with a defeat, losing 3:2 to North Macedonia. The Nations Tournament serves as a valuable test ahead of the October qualifiers for the European Championship.
Slovenian U17 Team Gaining Experience Before Crucial October Matches
The Slovenian girls managed to come back twice from behind but could not equalize after a late goal from their opponents. Following the match against North Macedonia, Slovenia will face Italy and Albania.
“It wasn’t our best game. Although the players showed a lot of good things, the unnecessary mistakes in basic agreements made the game go in an undesired direction. At this level, mistakes are quickly punished, and we need to correct these for the next match while also repeating what we did well today,” said Anja Milenkovič, head coach of the U17 women’s national team.
As mentioned, our team will be aiming for a place in the European Championship in October. They have been drawn into Group A1, alongside Portugal, Switzerland, and Wales. The qualifying tournament will be hosted by Portugal from October 21 to 30.
