The Football Association of Slovenia has reviewed all timely submissions for the positions of president, vice-presidents, and elected member of the executive committee through its election committee. The main and most significant finding is that there will be no change at the helm of the organization. While it’s theoretically possible for the sole candidate not to be elected, this is not expected. Radenko Mijatović continues to enjoy majority support from the voting body and will be the only candidate in the upcoming elections, suggesting that the NZS will remain under the leadership of the 60-year-old former referee for the next four years.
Radenko Mijatović is likely to extend his presidency at the NZS to a total of 12 years. He was first elected president on December 15, 2016, succeeding Aleksander Čeferin, and was re-elected on October 26, 2020. Before him, the NZS was led by Rudi Zavrl and Ivan Simič.
In the elections scheduled for October 24, the NZS will also elect four vice-presidents, with six candidates having applied for these positions: Dejan Germič, Mihael Zrimec, Damir Rob, Gvido Merljak, Stanko Glažar, and Danilo Kacijan. The current vice-presidents are Glažar, Kacijan, Mravljak, and Germič.
The only candidate for the elected member of the NZS executive committee will be Maja Berger Levičar, who has been nominated by MNZ Ljubljana and MNZ Nova Gorica.
