Maribor filed a complaint, but the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) rejected it for a rather bizarre reason: The complaint was filed by the wrong person

Maribor has appealed, but before the Slovenian Football Association could even reach a decision on whether the appeal is justified or not, it was already rejected. The reason for this is quite bizarre and ultimately speaks of considerable clumsiness on the part of the club from Ljudski vrt. As revealed by the NZS, the appeal was rejected because it was filed by, let’s say, the wrong person! The appeal was not written by the authorized representative, so it was rejected. “This decision is final,” emphasized the NZS.
The penalty is clear: Maribor lost the match against Mura on the green table (0:3), must pay a fine of €25,000, and also has to play four home matches behind closed doors.
Statement by the Slovenian Football Association (NZS):
The Appeals Committee of the Slovenian Football Association, at its meeting on March 14, 2024, considered the appeal of NK Maribor Branik against the decision of the disciplinary judge of the NZS no. 6021/24 dated February 26, 2024. The appeal was filed regarding the penalties imposed on NK Maribor Branik for unsportsmanlike and inappropriate behavior of its supporters and for incitement to national and ethnic intolerance and other violence during the match.
After a thorough examination of all submitted documents and NZS regulations, the five-member panel of the Appeals Committee concluded that the appeal of NK Maribor Branik is inadmissible. The reason for this decision is that the appeal was not filed by a person authorized to represent the club in this procedure, as it was not signed by the authorized representative, as required by Article 45 of the NZS disciplinary regulations.
Based on the above, the Appeals Committee dismissed the appeal of NK Maribor Branik and decided that the appeal fee would not be refunded to the club. This decision is final.
The Slovenian Football Association reaffirms its commitment to combating all forms of violence, intolerance, and unsportsmanlike conduct at football matches. The NZS remains committed to providing a safe and positive environment for all participants in football events and will continue to enforce its disciplinary regulations in accordance with these principles.
