Slovenians will have an important say in the foreign club Kras Repen: Velikonja signs, Rajčević will persevere, Badžim and Bužan arrive
Karst Repen
, a club of Slovene expatriates in Italy, will play in the Promozione league in 2023/24, the sixth highest quality league in Italy, but with the players it will have at its disposal, it will undoubtedly be one of the candidates for promotion to a higher level of the competition. The foreigners have presented their roster for the new season and coach Radenko Knežević will be able to count on four players from Slovenia who also have national team experience. Experienced defender Aleksander Rajčević, who left for Italy at the beginning of the year, will continue to play for Kras Repen, while Etien Velikonja, last Gorica striker, has signed a contract with the club as announced, while Luka Badžim and Primož Bužan have also joined Repentabor.
The 25-year-old central defender Luka Badžim was last a member of Primorje, in the past he also played for Ankaran and
Koper
, and has played five games for the young Slovenian national team. Bužan is a former Koper goalkeeper who also scored for the young Slovenian national team against Ukraine in 2018. He played 28 games in the Telemach First League, 28 games in the 2. He has been on the SNL 45 times and the 26-year-old already has experience in Italy. He signed for San Giovanni of Trieste the year before he left Primorje, and then moved to Zaule Rabuiese last September.
The new stop for Badžim and Bužan will be, as I said, Kras Repen, where they believe without a doubt that their experience in Slovenia will help them get back to where they were before: first in the fifth league, then… Who knows? Maybe all the way to Serie D? Let us be surprised.
