Although it’s still a month until the start of the quarterfinals of the Pivovarna Union Cup, the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) has already assigned the matches. The quarterfinals will commence on Tuesday, March 5, with the matches between Podvinci and Triglav, and Videm and Ilirija. Notably, the location for the clash between the old league rivals, Olimpija and Koper, stands out. The match will take place on Thursday, March 7, hosted by the Ljubljana team, but it won’t be at the Stožice Stadium.
As indicated by the information available on the NZS website, the Olimpija vs. Koper match will kick off at 3:00 PM, specifically in … Šiška! The game will be played at the Športni park Šiška, which is the home ground of Bravo. Since Bravo did not make it to the top 16 in the cup, there are no obstacles for the temporary relocation of the Dragons from Bežigrad to Šiška.
The key question arises: why such a decision? Presumably, the fact that the pitch at Stožice is allegedly still far from being in the best condition despite the hard work of those responsible may not be far from the truth. It is also worth noting that in March, the Stožice Stadium will host the eternal derby between Olimpija and Maribor, as well as the international match between Slovenia and Portugal.
The eternal derby is scheduled for March 13, while Cristiano Ronaldo and his compatriots will visit Ljubljana to face Slovenia on March 26.
