Olimpija is bursting at the seams: red light for the business of the long-blocked association
Although Olimpija’ s management is trying its best to convince the Slovenian football public that everything is fine and that the club has no problems, the facts say otherwise. Last week, the Slovenian Football Federation fined the Dragons
for a debt of more than 250,000 euros
to nine former members of the Ljubljana club. Meanwhile, information has been leaked that Olimpija also owes
almost 100,000 euros to the company
that helped the club this year with the organisation of both winter and summer preparations.
It got even worse after the end of the recent match with Koper, when, according to Sportklub, coach Alberto Riera ‘s film broke and he allegedly
even threatened to resign
. Later he calmed down and for now he remains in the saddle, but all this shows that Olimpija is indeed bursting at the seams. Not in terms of results, the Dragons are in a class of their own this season, but in terms of business.
Competition licence holder
This is further evidenced by the fact that the account of the Olimpija Ljubljana Football Club has been blocked for some time. The Society is, among other things, the holder of the competition licence, which the club must obtain annually from the
Football Association of Slovenia
if it wishes to participate in competitions under its auspices. All key club activities related to the member team are linked to the related legal entity FC Olimpija d.o.o., so the fact that the association has a blocked bank account is of course not vital for the club. In any case, it is further proof that the management is more than obviously having a lot of business problems.
For the Youth Drive
Gorenjska banka blocked the account of the association, whose official representative is Adam Delius, at the end of September. The reason is simple and is also stated on the website of the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Public Legal Records and Services (AJPES):‘Evident insufficient funds in the account of the holder to repay his/her obligation‘. In the past, Olimpija has financed the operation of its youth drive through the association’s account. It is not known how he is paying the financial obligations related to the latter now that his account is blocked.
