In the past month, the 2024/25 season also began in the Pivovarna Union Cup, where the champion title is defended by Rogaška, which, to be honest, has no chance of repeating its success after the upheavals at the end of the last season. The cup battles are currently taking place under the auspices of the inter-municipal associations, but there are always various complications. Aluminij thus remained without a match and advanced without a fight. The second-division team from Kidričevo was supposed to play away in Gerečja village in the first round of the competition, but the match did not take place.
“Due to the poor health condition of the senior team (injuries, illnesses), we were forced to cancel the match of the 1st round of the Pivovarna Union Cup against the team NK Aluminij. The decision was not easy, as we were looking forward to a football celebration and a showdown with our friends and neighbors from Kidričevo, but the health situation of the playing staff worsened after Saturday’s league match, and we had to cancel the cup match,” explained ŠD Gerečja vas.
Krka, which is competing with Aluminij in the 2. SNL, will play its cup match, but not in Novem mestu, as was initially planned. The Dolenjci have withdrawn from hosting duties, which means that the match will be organized by Bravo. However, not in Stožice, where they usually play, but will return to ŽAK, even though they have already said goodbye to Šiška twice so far.
“Although we highlighted on our social media that the senior team would start this year’s cup competition away, in Novem mesto, there has been a change. The match will be played at the Športni park Šiška. The change occurred after the team NK Krka withdrew from the away match. The organization of the 2nd round of the Union Cup is thus taken over by NK Bravo, which will be able to host the match at their home Žak, as it is a match under the auspices of MNZ Ljubljana,” announced the Ljubljančani, who will host the match on September 18.
