With the new season, Luka Elsner faces new challenges as he has decided to change his environment. However, having been given the opportunity by Stade de Reims, he will stay in France for now, where he is likely the most popular Slovene after Tadej Pogačar. The 41-year-old has chosen to get to know his new players better on the far eastern side of the world.
Elsner and his team have therefore traveled to Japan, where they faced their first challenge today, playing against local top-flight team Iwati and securing a draw. The former Olimpija coach and his squad will face further matches against Shimizu, Machida, and Kobe in the coming days.
Before heading to the Land of the Rising Sun, the Reims players had already played two matches against French lower-league teams, winning both with distinction.
