Olimpija celebrates double crown, Olimpija Primary School looks forward to promotion: the Ljubljana club has already been promoted in its first season as a member
2023 was a good year for both clubs bearing the Olimpija name. Disproportionately better known
NK Olimpija
celebrated the double crown, the much less well-known
Olimpija Primary School
was promoted to a higher level of the competition. Olimpija Primary School is a club founded years ago by Hajro Rizvić. For a while, Olimpija Primary School was actually a club within NK Olimpija, but at the end of Milan Mandaric’s reign, the well-known Ljubljana businessman went his own way. Among other things, he took over the Svoboda school and founded the Olimpija Primary School’s members team.
According to the rules, Olimpija had to start at the bottom of the football pyramid. But in the so-called MNZ Ljubljana league, it had good results. Only Ljubljana was better, automatically moving from the fifth to the fourth league. Meanwhile, Olimpija went to the additional qualifiers, where they played against Ihan, the penultimate team in the Regional Ljubljana League (fourth in quality). In their first home game in front of 200 spectators, they lost 1:2 and it seemed that five-league football would remain a reality for Rizvić’s Olimpija.
But Olimpija made an unexpected turnaround in the return match. In Ihan, the team won 2-0 after goals from captain Bedjit Mustafoski, who scored in the first leg, and Jan Potočar (who scored 10 minutes before the end of the game), and secured promotion to the fourth round of the competition with a 3-2 aggregate score.
