Dravograd has seen much better days. Once, it even played in the Prva liga Telemach! But the elite league is now far, far away. The club, which has produced numerous top-level footballers for Slovenian football, was relegated from the 3. SNL last season, meaning it will have to almost start from scratch. After the drop to the fourth tier, the very existence of the club, which was a top-tier team for four seasons, was threatened. Then Nejc Pečnik took the reins.
The former Slovenian international, who played at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, has taken on a challenging task, with a clear goal: to eventually return Dravograd to a much higher place on the quality ladder. How successful Nejc Pečnik will be in his role as club president remains to be seen. But for starters, Dravograd has begun by sprucing up their stadium.
“The workday to clean up the Dravograd Sports Center was a great success. About 30 volunteers worked diligently all Saturday despite the extreme heat. Thanks for the drinks go to Frizerski Salon Arti (Jožica Plimon), Damjan Čurč, Safet Kasami, and Saša and Tomaž Oder,” they wrote on Dravograd’s Facebook profile, and continued to describe what was accomplished at the Dravograd Sports Center with the help of volunteers:
– Aligned the poles of the protective net
– Removed the worn green net
– Cleared the trash behind the north stand near Traberk Center
– Weed and clean the north stand
– Removed and reinstalled advertising panels on the fence of the north stand
– Partially mowed the slopes
– Mowed the main pitch
– Removed dangerous cracked glass from the substitute benches
– Cleaned the athletics track
– Emptied and thoroughly cleaned the workspace for maintaining the pitch
– Cleaned and weeded around the central part of the stadium
– Cleaned the main entrance to the stadium
– Cleaned the terrace and bar area
– Cleaned the VIP stand
– Cleaned the covered south stand and refurbished the seats
The refurbished Dravograd Sports Center will come alive again today, with a Koroška derby on the schedule. In the preliminary round of the Pokal Pivovarna Union, former top-tier teams Dravograd and Korotan will face off. The match will kick off at 17:30.
