At Vič, in the opening match of the new season of the Youth Eon NextGen League, the Ljubljana rivals Olimpija and Ilirija faced off. The victory was celebrated by the Dragons, a team that was taken over by former international Antonio Delamea Mlinar the day before the match, defeating the 2023 national champions 2:1.
The match at Športni park Svoboda was attended by around 180 spectators, who saw the first goal in the 45th minute, just before the end of the first half. The home team was then put in the lead by Damjan Pauković, who joined Olimpija from Triglav this summer. Ilirija equalized in the 56th minute, with the scorer being Teo Jelača, who had previously also made a name for himself at Olimpija. The decision on the winner was made only in the 91st minute. The Dragons were awarded a penalty, and the second summer newcomer Adriano Rizvić scored from the spot.
Olimpija started the match with Zakrajšek, Oblak, Pirečnik, Ž. Pečjak, Rizvić, Kovačević, Šega, Cedilnik, Varmaz Plava, Pauković, Imeraj, with Tafoski, Petrov, Hočevar, and Komić coming off the bench.
