At the Euro U21 next year in Slovakia, it is clear that the boys who contributed to this historic success should go, but if they are ready to accept someone who did not participate in the qualifiers but is still a proven master of his craft… In that case, next summer, the Slovenian national team could even be joined by Benjamin Šeško and Žan Vipotnik! Yes, you read that right: Slovenia could actually head to the Euro U21 with one of the hottest football players on the planet!
The rules of the European Football Association (UEFA) regarding who can play in the final tournament are crystal clear. Only players born on January 1, 2002, or later, are eligible. This, of course, means that many individuals at the tournament in Slovakia will actually be older than 21, but that’s just how it is. What matters is the start of the qualifiers, and in Slovenia’s case, both Benjamin Šeško, a player for RB Leipzig, and Žan Vipotnik, a member of Swansea City, were “eligible” for the U21 national team at the start of the qualifiers.
Both have mostly skipped the youth national team (this especially applies to Šeško, while Vipotnik has made three appearances for the U21 team) and have immediately moved up to the senior team. Among the latter, Benjamin Šeško has been particularly outstanding, while Žan Vipotnik has already made a name for himself, scoring the winning goal in the early qualifiers for Euro 2024.
Both Šeško and Vipotnik were among the travelers to the tournament in Germany this summer, and it will undoubtedly be interesting to see if they are also among the travelers to the tournament in Slovakia. Of course, it should be known who worked hard in the qualifiers. These boys deserve to be rewarded! But if we could add someone like Benjamin Šeško… The idea is crazy, the idea is also brilliant, but how it will unfold… Let’s be surprised!
