The 2024/25 season of the 2. SNL will kick off this weekend, with Gorica entering as one of the main favorites for promotion to the Prva Liga Telemach. To help achieve the goal of returning the former champions to the top tier, Tim Matavž has returned home this summer. He will wear the captain’s armband and serve as the club’s main attacking asset, as Gorica was close to breaking into the top league last season.
“It feels great to come back home. We have many new players, and the team is in good shape; the guys are good and hardworking. The preparation phase is behind us, and I think we have prepared well for the season. Our goal is to try to get back where Gorica belongs, which is the top league,” said 35-year-old Tim Matavž ahead of the new season. Gorica will start their campaign with a home match against Rudar from Velenje on Saturday.
The former Slovenian international added on the club’s official website: “This league will be tough this year as it features many good teams. On one hand, we have youth, and on the other, we also have some experience. There is a good mix. We need to give our all to bring Gorica back to the top league.”
Additionally, 33-year-old Croatian defender Denis Cerovec has left the border town after three seasons. For the upcoming season, he will compete against Gorica after signing with Jadran from Dekani.
