Olimpija is rapidly preparing for its second European opponent after five consecutive victories at the start of the new season. The Dragons will face Šerif in the third round of the Conference League, and there are no surprises in the squad that coach Victor Sanchez has registered for both matches against the Moldovans. Well, except perhaps for the fact that the Spaniard has also “completed” the list B, which is intended for homegrown players born on January 1, 2003 or later. It includes five players, all of whom are – of course – teenagers.
It is not surprising that Mateo Aćimović is on the list, as he made his debut in senior football at the age of sixteen on Monday. Also, two years older Aldin Jakupović has already played for the first team of the Dragons. Forward Žan Kovačević is 18 years old and has scored 18 goals in 52 matches for the cadets and youth teams of Olimpija over the past two seasons. The list B also includes midfielder Žan Luka Šega, who is 16 years old. Last season, he played 22 matches among the cadets and has already made his debut among the youth players. A year older Val Matija Zakrajšek is a goalkeeper who has played very little in recent seasons, but has already sat on the bench of the senior team twice in the competitive year 2023/24.
It will certainly be interesting to see whether the Spanish expert will include any of the mentioned players in the squad for both matches against the club from Tiraspol. But what is certain is this: he has all of them available.
