Before Aleksander Čeferin headed to Stožice on Thursday, where he witnessed another remarkable European victory for Olimpija, the president of the European Football Association (UEFA) also visited Brdo pri Kranju, where he congratulated Radenko Mijatović on his third term at the helm of the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS). During this visit, Aleksander Čeferin shared several commendatory remarks aimed not only at Mijatović but also at Slovenian football as a whole.
“I came here to show support for the NZS and the entire Slovenian football community. As the president of UEFA, I am proud of you; you are doing a great job. Believe me, this is recognized on both the European and world stage,” addressed Aleksander Čeferin to all present at the electoral assembly of the NZS.
The esteemed official from Grosuplje added at the assembly, where a moment of silence was held in memory of the recently deceased former president of the Yugoslav federation and long-time football worker Marko Ilešič: “The incredible successes of our national teams… The senior team played at Euro 2024, the U21 team qualified for the European Championship, and I really don’t know if we realize what an achievement that is. At the same time, the women’s national team is also progressing. I would also commend the referees; perhaps Slavko Vinčić is currently even the best in the world. And not just because I’m Slovenian.“
