It started with a dream European success, ended with fans’ boycott and a defeat against the city rival: “The circus continues”

A dismal view of the stands at the Stožice Stadium, and perhaps an even more dismal sight on the pitch of the country’s largest stadium. While almost 1000 people watched the U19 game of Olimpija against Celje for the title the day before, the fans were left without real support on Sunday. And literally so. Even the Green Dragons decided to boycott this time!
Olimpija’s most loyal supporters displayed a banner during the last round match of the 2023/24 season against city rival Bravo, then left their stand. “The club is a circus. Players without motivation. This weekend we supported the young generations,” wrote the Dragons on a banner hung at the stadium in Ljubljana.
They were also critical on their official social media channels. “The shock therapy with changing the coach before the end of the season worked! The circus continues…” they wrote after the game, which Bravo won 1-0, with the only goal scored by former Olimpija player Martin Pečar.
Even before the match against the Šiškarji, Olimpija supporters wrote: “Despite having fairly regular communication with the current club management, it doesn’t change the fact that the name Olimpija appears all too often in a negative connotation. It’s true that some journalists, or rather scribblers, are competing in negativity, but let’s be honest: in many cases, the owners of Olimpija add fuel to the fire. It’s no wonder then that there is more interest in the youth team’s game than in the senior team’s. But let’s not forget, the youngsters sincerely appreciate the environment and love the crest. The phalanx of foreigners, however, does not. We will continue to fight for a healthy Olimpija, with a clear strategy and values that will make all the green and white fans in Slovenia proud!“
