Telemach First League
. The opening match of Round 13 will take place on Saturday, when Rogaška and

and Aluminij – Radomlje on Sunday. Aleksandar Zeljković, a 24-year-old defender who has played five games in the Telemach First League so far this season, will also be hoping for a chance with the home team.
Before the league matches resume, Aleksandar Zeljković also spoke to Navijaško zona about how he has had a really varied life journey – after all, just three years ago he was still a member of a club from one of the lower leagues in Austria. His career took a turn in a different direction in 2020, when he signed for Beltince, and two years later, after his transfer to Tabor, he had his moment to prove himself in the Telemach First League.
“When the opportunity to go to Austria came up, I took it and went. I first drove for the first half-season and then lived there. I had the desire and the hope to succeed, I always wanted to play, waiting for the opportunity to take a step forward. And I did. Then, when I got the offer from Beltinci, I grabbed it with both hands,“, explained the former member of Žalec and revealed how a friend from Celje “helped him to the test in Prekmurje “.“I went to the test and obviously met the expectations,” added Aleksandar Zeljković.
