It was 14 years ago when Slovenia traveled to South Africa and more than proved itself at the World Cup. At the helm of the NFS sat Ivan Simič… The former head of the governing body is now celebrating again. A somewhat different and especially less resounding victory, but a victory is always a victory. Always welcome and very pleasant. Although Slovan, where Ivan Simič holds the presidency, finished second in the 3rd SNL West, they still received the benefits of a champion. Dob gave up on advancement, but Slovan did not.
At Kodeljevo, they will be able to enjoy second league football again after a long, truly long time, and Slovan – of course – does not hide its satisfaction and enthusiasm after Thursday’s decision by the NFS.
“Dear fans, it’s time to celebrate! Our team ND Slovan has achieved an incredible success! After years of hard work, we have climbed to the top and finished the season in a phenomenal 2nd place with as many as 59 points. Our dreams have become reality! This outstanding achievement has taken us to the 2nd SNL, where we will once again prove our strength and passion for football. The last time we played in the 2nd league was in the 1996/97 season, and now we are triumphantly returning!” Slovan wrote on their club website.
The club from Ljubljana, which has produced a plethora of top footballers in the past (the list is too long to mention them all, but if we say that Samir Handanović is just one of them, we’ve said it all), added: “Thanks to all the players for their fighting spirit, to the fans for their unwavering support, and to everyone in the club who contributed to this incredible success. Your passion and dedication have brought us to this historic moment. We are ready for new challenges, new victories, and unforgettable moments that we will create together. An unforgettable season awaits us! Together, we are writing history!“
