Slovenian football will have quite a few representatives in European competitions next season, including Slovenian internationals Tomi Horvat and Jon Gorenc Stanković, who secured direct qualification for the Champions League with their Sturm team last weekend. However, it seems that the players under Christian Ilzer will not be playing their home matches in the premier club competition at their home stadium.
All of Sturm’s opponents in next season’s Champions League will apparently have to travel to Carinthia instead of Styria, as the home matches of the current Austrian champions will be hosted at the Wörthersee Stadium in Klagenfurt, which can accommodate around 30,000 spectators, twice as many as the Merkur Arena can hold.
However, the problem lies not in the capacity of the venue, but in the facilities for broadcasting the matches. According to UEFA standards for group stage matches of the top-tier competition, there must be at least twenty, while the Merkur Arena has only nine, with the main issue being the installation of additional ones.
The passionate supporters of the team from Graz, who cheer loudly for their favorites an hour or so before the match, will thus have to extend their journey to the pinnacle matches of the upcoming season by about an hour and a half.
