Triglav ‘let go’ three footballers to its first opponent in the new season: At Ilirija, also young Kukavica and Golden Okocha
In the opening round of the new 2. SNL season, Ilirija will face Triglav on Friday. Just before the second-tier debut, three players have moved from Kranj to Ljubljana, all of whom had been proving themselves in the Gorenjska capital. The Football Association of Slovenia (NZS) registered all three quickly enough that they will indeed be able to debut for Ilirija against their former club. The new additions to the Ljubljana team are Inas Kukavica, Gibson Golden Okocha, and Žan Malnar.
Inas Kukavica, born in 2007, caught the attention of several clubs, including some from Italy, last season by scoring 14 goals in 26 matches in the second cadet league. However, he decided to continue his development in Slovenia. Ilirija signed him mainly for their youth team, but the Ljubljana club has previously promoted many young players to the senior squad. It is not impossible that Inas Kukavica will make his senior debut soon.
Gibson Golden Okocha is a 22-year-old forward from Nigeria who played for Triglav over the last two seasons, scoring 15 goals in 38 matches, demonstrating considerable potential. Žan Malnar, aged 21, plays as a goalkeeper and is already well-known at Ilirija. The former member of Domžale and Radomlje was part of the Šiškarji team in the 2022/23 season but did not make any appearances.
