All dates for the Round of 16 matches have been announced of the Pivovarna Union Cup, and most interestingly, one of the matches has even changed the host role. The draw of lots ensured that Rudar and Olimpija to play in Velenje, but now the rules are that the league status of both clubs decides who will host the match. The host is the one playing in the lower league.
All well and good, but Rudar gave up the spectacle and left the organisation to Olimpija. The match will take place in Stožice and not at the Ob Jezerou stadium. It is not known why Rudar made this decision, but it is probably mainly because away games are almost always a big organisational burden. The Ljubljana fans also go to the games with the players, which brings with it additional security costs.
Either way, Olimpija will not have to travel for the round of 16, the match will kick off at 3pm on 22 November at the biggest stadium in the country. hours. Let’s add that the opening match of the next round of the Cup will take place on Tuesday, 21 November, and the last three matches will take place on Sunday, 26 November.
