Ljubljana is gripped by euphoria: Olimpija hosts Galatasaray in a sold-out stadium, most tickets sold out
There are still a few tickets here and there in the corner of the main stand, but it’s already clear:
Olympia
going to
Galatasaray
hosts a sold-out Stožice in the third round of Champions League qualifiers! Olimpija hasn’t put all the tickets on sale yet, but the ones that have, more often than not, already have their owners. So anyone who didn’t take the plunge and go on the hunt for tickets as soon as Olimpija started selling them via its club website was more likely than not to be left empty-handed. This proves that Ljubljana is shaking with a football fever unlike any other in the capital, at least at club level. And although the Slovenian capital has been considered a sleepy city in football terms for many years, what is already well known has been confirmed once again: when the spectacle comes to town, Ljubljana wakes up. And so it is again.
In just two hours, Olimpija sold more than 5000 tickets for the match against the Turkish champions.
However, the stadium record will not fall. For security reasons, the total capacity will be considerably reduced, and it is expected that the stadium will hold between 13 and 14 thousand people. The highest number of spectators at an Olimpija home game ever was in 2014, when 15,972watched a friendly against Chelsea. The Slovenia-Australia match, which was held in 2010 at the opening of the facility, was attended by 16,135 spectators. This is also the record attendance for a football match in independent Slovenia.
