Maribor will host Djurgarden at Ljudski vrt on Thursday, aiming to secure a spot in Europe for the fall. However, on Sunday, the Purple squad should have been heading to Nova Gorica. But they won’t have to. They will also play their first September game at their own stadium, even though it was initially planned for them to be the visitors in the 7th round of the national championship. The pitch in Nova Gorica is already completely destroyed, despite the season having just begun. Both Primorje and Gorica play in the border town, but now both will need to play away for a while.
The Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) has already moved the 7th round match from Nova Gorica to Maribor. Gorica will be playing away in the 2nd SNL three times in a row, although they were originally supposed to play the 5th round match against Sežan’s Tabor at home. The last game at the Sports Park before its closure will be on Wednesday, when Gorica and Primorje will face off in the cup competition, after which the venue will be closed for a while. Restoration of the damaged pitch will follow, and it is not yet known when it will be ready for play again.
According to the current schedule, the former national champions should play their next home second league match on September 22 against Krka, while Primorje is set to play against Radomlje on September 21. However, it should be noted that these dates were set at the start of the new season, and given the current situation in Nova Gorica, it’s not impossible that the clubs might have to extend their “homelessness”…
