Kras Repen, the club of Slovenian expatriates in Italy, is aiming for promotion from the sixth to the fifth league in the 2023/24 season. In their journey towards the competition named Eccellenza, they achieved a crucial victory last weekend. Kras Repen hosted the club Lavarian Mortean Esperia, which leads the Promozione league. If the latter had won, their lead over Kras would have increased to +7. However, that did not happen, and a significant contribution to this result comes from Etien Velikonja.
The Slovenian veteran bid farewell to Gorica last year and ended his professional career. However, he hasn’t completely hung up his boots. In the current season, he wears the jersey of Kras and has scored five goals so far. Three of them were scored this year, including two against Lavarian Mortean Esperia, leading Kras to a 2-0 victory.
Kras, which is now only one point behind the top spot, has several Slovenians in its squad (Primož Bužan, Luka Badžim, Aleksander Rajčević, Andrej Lukač, Anže Kuraj, Tim Mahne Vatovec, Bojan Đukić, Žiga Perhavec…). The Slovenian expert Radenko Knežević also sits on their bench.
