If Olimpija were playing in the Champions League, it would undoubtedly be completely different. However, the Conference League seemingly doesn’t interest the audience in Ljubljana all that much. A lot can be said about it from the number of spectators who collectively attended the three home games in Group A.
Olimpija recorded the highest attendance at the first home game against Slovan, the match against the club from Bratislava, which will also be the last opponent of the dragons in this competition. According to UEFA data, 5064 spectators attended that match.
The most modest attendance was at the game against Klaksvik, where there were only 2296 spectators in the stands. Against Lille, in adverse weather conditions, which was a complicating factor, there were a few more people, but still fewer than against Slovan. UEFA revealed that precisely 4053 spectators attended the match, which the French won 2-0.
Therefore, Olimpija had a total of 11,413 spectators at three home matches, which is – interestingly – even about 5000 less than the total capacity of the Stožice stadium. There’s no doubt that the people of Ljubljana disappointed their club’s footballers. It was simply Olimpija’s first European autumn in history!
At least the Green Dragons were more than up to the expected level. There were quite a lot of them at each match, they were loud and creative – once again, they impressed with a truly impressive choreography.
