On Saturday, the 2024/25 season will also begin for Tabor, which narrowly secured its place in the 2. SNL last spring in a dramatic fashion. However, they didn’t actually secure it on the pitch. If points were decisive, they would have been relegated. But Primorci were fortunate. Rogaška did not receive a license for either the first or second league, and the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) filled the 2. SNL by allowing Tabor to remain part of the second-tier competition.
Davor Škerjanc, the president of the club that played in the Prva Liga Telemach last year, revealed that it would have been more or less indifferent if Sežana had not found business partners. These partners come from abroad and actually saved Tabor from a very, very bleak scenario.
“If the Americans hadn’t stepped in to help in the spring, the league would not have survived, and it would have been difficult to obtain a license for the third league. They fulfilled part of the agreement in advance so as not to jeopardize the club’s operations. In the end, we remained in the league through administrative means, which is crucial for the club’s future,” Davor Škerjanc revealed to Primorske novice, noting that in the previous season, when the team was severely understaffed, he even ran onto the pitch a few times himself.
Regarding the collaboration with the team that includes Lyndon Tomlinson, who once worked with both Manchester giants, Davor Škerjanc added: “It is more accurate to say that they found us. They were looking for opportunities in Europe. They explored potential in Croatia, Austria, Slovenia, and elsewhere, especially smaller markets where smaller investments can lead to the European stage. They also took a look at a few clubs in our league, primarily second-tier ones. If they can bring a team like Tabor to the top league and actually show that they know what they are doing, they will then also be more respected in the top league.“
