Although the 2024/25 season in the Eon NextGen youth league has just started, Maribor is already where they feel most comfortable. At the top. The Štajerci, the reigning champions in the under-19 category, have made significant changes to their squad over the summer after winning the title. Many talented players have left, but the purple team continues to deliver impressive results. Maribor is currently simply unbeatable in the youth Eon NextGen league.
Maribor is on an incredible streak of 12 consecutive wins, and they have remained unbeaten in 17 matches in the youth national championship. Their last defeat was on November 8 of last year, when they lost 3:1 to Rudar in Velenje. As hosts, Maribor has been unbeaten for 16 consecutive matches, with their last home defeat being over a year ago. It occurred in May of last year when the purple hopes were beaten 1:4 by Olimpija.
At the start of the new season, Dejan Dončić’s team has recorded three consecutive victories, scoring five goals and conceding only one. First, they defeated Aluminij 1:0, then Radomlje with the same result, and on Wednesday, the Štajerci triumphed 3:1 against Ilirija. How strong the youth squad of the Styrian giant truly is this season will likely be best demonstrated in the upcoming eternal derby against Olimpija, which is just around the corner and will be played before the end of August. The old rivals will face off for the first time this season in the youth category on August 30 at the – interestingly – sports park in Kidričevo.
