Novo mesto has always loved sport. Basketball is the main sport, but the local football club has also hung out with the best in the country. Krka
Telemach First League
for five seasons, playing 172 games in that time. Krka is currently in the 2nd SNL, but has been aiming for a return to the top for some time. It remains to be seen whether the club, whose sporting director is former national team player Sašo Udovič, will succeed this season. It is already clear that in the future Krka will have much better conditions for all visitors to Portoval, which – hand on heart – is not one of the most modern and comfortable stadiums in the country.
As Krka revealed, the construction machines will soon be switched on at Portoval and the main stand will be completely renovated. “The stand at the Portoval Stadium is about to undergo a much-needed renovation. There will be more seating and standing areas, and spectators will be able to watch the sport in all weather conditions under a new canopy. There will be space for almost 1000 fans underneath,” Krka wrote on its
official website
and added: “Under the canopy, there will also be a VIP area on the upper floor, as well as space for journalists and cameramen. New ancillary facilities will also be provided, including toilets. The stand will enable the club to compete at the highest national level.”
The contract was signed on Thursday and, as Krka further disclosed, the deadline for implementation and obtaining the permit to use the building is half a year from the date of signing the contract. The renovation of the stadium will cost just over €1 million. EUR 100,000 will be contributed by the Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport, EUR 74,000 will be added by the Sports Foundation, EUR 50,000 will be contributed by the Football Association of Slovenia, and the rest will be provided by the Municipality of Novo mesto.
