Matija Rom, after parting ways with Georgia, didn’t stay unemployed for long, and interestingly, he will continue kicking the ball very, very far from home. The former Slovenian youth international has found a new employer in Kazakhstan, a country with which Slovenia competed for Euro 2024 and will continue to do so in the new season of the Nations League.
Matija Rom has entered into an agreement with the club FC Zhenis from the capital of Astana. It is a three-time Kazakh champion, winning in 2000, 2001, and 2006. The club has four appearances in Europe, and in 2009, it faced severe difficulties and even went bankrupt. Just last year, they played in the second Kazakh league, finishing third and advancing.
In the future, 25-year-old Matija Rom, who last played for FC Telavi in Georgia, will assist them in the Kazakh elite. Before that, he also played in Croatia and Ukraine, and on home soil, he made his mark on the senior stage wearing the jersey of Domžale.
