Season 2024/25 also begins in the 3. SNL, with a match between Šmartno 1928 and Premium Dobrovce to be played on Sunday in the east. It is difficult to say who the favorite is, as well as to predict who will be at the top and who will be at the bottom of the standings. As for Šmartno, the former top-league team fought to stay in the league last season and managed to achieve that goal. How the new competitive year will unfold remains to be seen, but the team has received a reinforcement that could prove very important. Marcel Blaj has signed for Šmartno, returning home from neighboring Austria.
The 21-year-old forward spent last season at Allerheiligen, where one of his teammates was the legendary Rok Kronaveter, a former star of Olimpija and Maribor. Marcel Blaj played 16 matches for the yellow-blacks, scoring 2 goals. He was certainly not satisfied with this record, but he will now be playing again in a league where he feels very comfortable.
The former member of Rudar Velenje, MB Tabor, and Ptuj’s Drava, who has also previously played for his new club, has so far recorded 62 appearances in the 3. SNL, scoring 24 goals. Šmartno ob Paki has thus acquired a player who is expected to score quite a few goals, and goals are – clearly – key to achieving good results…
As revealed in Šmartno ob Paki, their senior team has also been strengthened before the new season by Tim Turinek, Simon Zupančič, Lejl Sulejmanović, Davud Kokić, Aleksandar Sven Kusić, Aleš Poljanšek, Dominik Vrbovšek, and Urh Gaber Majcenovič.
