Visit from Israel is also to blame for Radomlje and Olimpija competing at the Millers’ home, where the match will kick off at 2 p.m.

If the match weren’t scheduled for Thursday at 2 PM, when many will still be at work, we might even be talking about a record attendance… Well, it will certainly be interesting to see how many people actually watch the cup match between Radomlje and Olimpija, as well as the real background behind why the match will be played at this time and at the home of the millers instead of in Domžale, where it was initially assigned. As confirmed by the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS), a very significant reason for this is primarily the fact that an Israeli basketball club, Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem, will be visiting Ljubljana on the same day.
You might wonder what the match between Cedevita Olimpija and the Israelis has in common with the cup match Pokal Pivovarna Union… Well, the matter is quite simple: due to current global circumstances, the guests from Israel will experience heightened security at the highest level in Ljubljana, meaning that a large number of police officers will be present before, during, and after the match. In fact, there will be so many that the police, along with NZS and both football clubs, requested to move the match to an earlier time.
The clubs did not oppose the idea; the Radomlje team would host all home matches at their facility if it were possible. However, that is not the case, but the yellow-black team will still have their chance this time. It will indeed be interesting to see how many people actually come to the local sports park, which, according to official data, accommodates around 1,600 spectators. Olimpija is already a magnet, but the question remains whether this will hold true on Thursday at 2 PM…
