Rogaška is without a license for the 2024/25 season! Nevertheless, in Rogaška Slatina, they remain calm, as they are convinced that they will settle everything within the appeal period, still meeting all criteria and subsequently receive the green light to play in the Prva liga Telemach. “Even in the current season, somewhere in February, we received a similar decision, where our license was temporarily revoked, but then we completed the application and extended the license. We will do the same now. Until May 15, we have time to adequately supplement our license application, and we will do that,” explained Rogaška’s sports director Nino Ivačič for Večer.
One of the major reasons why Rogaška remained without a license is believed to be related to the fact that the stadium in Rogaška Slatina does not have floodlights. Because of this, it does not meet the standards of the top league, and if Rogaška wants to continue playing in the Prva liga Telemach, it will have to play home matches elsewhere. But where? “The decision envisages that we conclude a contract with one of the stadiums that meet the top league criteria. We have two solutions for this,” said Nino Ivačič, who does not hide that Rogaška Slatina will not have floodlights for some time or at least not in the next season.
But where will Rogaška play home matches if it gets the license, of course? Nino Ivačič mentions two possibilities: one could again be Krško, where it already hosted some of the initial home matches this season. Krško is about 60 kilometers away from Rogaška Slatina, but the local stadium, which is quite old, naturally does not offer top-notch conditions. According to unofficial information, one of the options is also Murska Sobota, which is 100 kilometers away from Rogaška Slatina, but there is no need to talk about the comfort that Fazanerija offers compared to the Matija Gubec stadium.
In Fazanerija, Rogaška could also play some of the initial European matches, if they were to advance to the qualifiers for the Conference League with a win in the Pivovarna Union Cup. But for now, the black-and-white team cannot think about it. Without a license, nothing will happen.
