Once there was Ježica. Then came Factor. And of course, Interblock. But today? Officially, IB 1975 Ljubljana. But for most, it’s still Interblock. For some, it’s still Ježica. Like it used to be… Regardless of the name, the following fact is relevant: the Ježica club has written a very, very nice success story, which testifies that good work always pays off in the long run. Interblock celebrated last weekend their placement in the youth Eon NextGen league, where they are a unique sensation or practically the only club without a senior team in the first, second, or third Slovenian league. IB 1975 is currently competing in the fourth league for promotion to a higher level of competition.
“In the sports park Kodeljevo, after several years of planned work in all club selections, the youth team qualified for the 1st SML three rounds before the end of the season. This will be the only youth team in the Slovenian youth elite without a senior team in the 1st, 2nd, and probably even the 3rd SNL,” wrote club president Igor Pušnik on Facebook, also pointing out that Interblock has anything but top-notch conditions: “The success is even greater considering the conditions we have. In practice, this means that this and all other teams practically have no chance to train on the entire field. The field is always shared by at least two teams. There is a concrete plan for the development of the sports park, but unfortunately, the reality is that this development is a long-term process, as is the professional work in the club.”
The club’s top official, who once had lofty goals with whom Joc Pečečnik had very high-flying goals, which quickly collapsed like a house of cards, added: “Congratulations to the boys and the coaching staff, not only to the youth, but to the entire team of coaches, for the outstanding achievement considering the given conditions. Of course, the work is by no means over. Planning to ensure conditions for the next and several new seasons has now begun. Some would say sweet worries, which are not even sweet. Therefore, as the president, I would only wish the following: whoever wants to help, let them help, but whoever does not, at least let them not harm. Let’s go IB. Ježica. Or whatever we are called. Victory always belongs to the team, even if individuals are outstanding.”
