Experienced goalkeeper Vid Belec announced on Monday that he would no longer play for the Slovenian national team. Belec was first called up to the national team in 2011 and wore the national jersey 21 times before retiring. This summer, he participated in Euro 2024, but now he has decided to leave his place in the team to younger colleagues. Jan Oblak also publicly thanked Belec upon his departure.
The captain of Slovenia and long-time goalkeeper for Atletico Madrid wrote on Instagram under Belec’s farewell post: “Thank you for all these years of effort, positive energy, and a lot of hard work that may not be visible from the outside, but we in the team know how important it was! Grande Beli!“
