Once he was a journalist, today he is one of the richest Slovenians. Darko Martin Klarič has experienced many things in his colorful life, and since 1991, he has also been dedicated to football. Interestingly, football didn’t initially interest him much, but he stayed with it ever since. More than 30 years! Thanks to him, Celje got a new stadium, and later he helped the club with a loan even after he was no longer its president.
After his long adventure in the princely city, he founded Bravo in Ljubljana. A club initially intended for students. And a club that has now reached Europe this year. For the first time in its history. “Originally, I just wanted to help young people have a club,” he admitted to Dnevnik years ago.
Later, Bravo, where he is now the honorary president, grew, but so did his ambitions. Or put differently: even though he has millions under his control, he didn’t want to throw them away carelessly. Bravo spends as much as it earns. If help is needed, he helps, but Bravo’s success story is also about hard work, not just a big financial investment.
Darko Martin Klarič: “Thanks to all collaborators”
In any case, Darko Martin Klarič has now received the recognition he undoubtedly deserves. Maybe someone else should bow to him, but there will be time for that later. For now, this is enough. At the annual Sporto conference in Portorož, he received the lifetime achievement award. “The recognition was awarded to our honorary president for his selfless, including financial, support of sports and his contribution to the management of sports clubs,” Bravo wrote on the club’s website.
Darko Martin Klarič, who is now a business magnate managing numerous companies, said upon receiving the prestigious and well-deserved recognition: “First, I would like to congratulate the entire Sporto conference team for their 20th successful edition and their contribution to the development of sports marketing in Slovenia, the region, and beyond. Above all, I would like to thank all the collaborators who have supported me and continue to do so on various business and sports paths. The award is the result of our joint work, and I am sincerely and immeasurably grateful to everyone who has ever contributed anything along the way.”
