Football has never engaged more people in Slovenia: NZS revealed that we have more than 74,000 registered football players
Slovenian Football Association (NZS) organized its regular assembly at Brdo pri Kranju, where it revealed the organization’s financial performance and also presented a very interesting fact to the public: we have never had more football players in Slovenia! “NZS can boast exceptional numbers. Last year, the number of registered players exceeded 74,000, which is the highest ever,” explained NZS President Radenko Mijatović.
It is also interesting to note that in the last two years, the number of registered football players has increased by over 20 percent, from just over 60,000 to more than 74,000. Football is becoming increasingly popular in Slovenia, especially among young people, which is not surprising considering some recent achievements, the most resonant of which is undoubtedly the qualification for Euro 2024.
Regarding finances, the association revealed that revenues last year increased to €27.36 million. Of this, €6.9 million was the reward for qualifying for Euro 2024. Revenues increased by a whopping 42 percent compared to the previous year. Expenditures also increased, totaling €27.36 million last year.
NZS allocated €8.2 million for the operation of the national teams, €2.3 million for infrastructure, and €1.24 million for youth football and football for all. “I would like to highlight something that is often overlooked in the media – our investments at all levels of football,” emphasized Radenko Mijatović, adding that NZS also allocated €1.5 million for women’s football last year.
