While most Slovenian clubs are preparing for the 2024/25 season at home, Mura is currently located a whopping 7300 kilometers away from Murska Sobota. Anton Žlogar, the coach of the black and whites, has taken his team to the United States of America, specifically to Michigan, where Mura is staying and training at a training center owned by George Juncaj. Juncaj has become a new business partner of Mura, indicating future collaboration between Mura and Juncaj’s American club, Michigan Stars FC.
Evidence of this collaboration is clear as it’s not just Mura’s players being overseen by Anton Žlogar in the USA. Some individuals from the ranks of the Michigan Stars FC have also joined his training sessions. Mura stated: “Several players from the Michigan Stars FC, owned by George Juncaj, have joined the preparations of the black and whites.”
Michigan Stars FC competes in the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA), which is the third-tier league in the United States in terms of quality. The club features mostly lesser-known players to the wider football public, including both of Juncaj’s sons, Robert and Steven. Steven was briefly with Gorica in Slovenia last year. Whether Mura will return home with any members of the Michigan club remains to be seen, but it will certainly be interesting to watch.
