Vid Belec celebrates his first career national championship title! The former prospect of the Italian giant Inter from Milan contributed significantly to the battle for the championship of Cyprus with as many as 18 matches without conceding a goal, and APOEL knew how to appropriately reward the Slovenian for his contribution. Vid Belec, who will almost certainly be one of the 26 Slovenian travelers to Euro 2024 this summer, has signed a new contract with the club from Nicosia after winning the trophy.
But here’s the interesting part: even though Vid Belec will celebrate his 34th birthday this summer, the new contract will be valid until 2027! The child of Maribor is not even thinking about the end of his career by any means, and it seems more than obvious that he will continue to play football for quite some time on the island in the Mediterranean.
The Slovenian veteran first signed for APOEL in 2019, then spent two years with the Italian Salernitana, and returned to Nicosia in the summer of 2022. To date, he has played 118 matches for APOEL, more than for any other club in his career. Vid Belec has also played for Crotone, Portuguese Olhanense, Turkish Konyaspor, Carpi, Benevento, and Sampdoria. He has also worn the Slovenian national team jersey 20 times.
