Football fever in the princely city is escalating, and tickets for Saturday’s Styrian derby, which will kick off at 17:30 at the Z’dežele stadium, are selling like hotcakes. Celje will, as it is now clear, record the highest attendance at home league matches this season. The yellow-blue team proudly announced on Thursday that the main stand, accommodating 3600 spectators, is almost sold out. It is expected, therefore, that there will be at least 4000, if not more spectators at the match.
In the current season, Celje had the highest attendance in the match against Olimpija, which ended with the guests winning 0:1 in November last year. At that time, 3042 spectators gathered at the Z’dežele stadium. How many will attend the match against the wounded Maribor, who were eliminated from the Pivovarna Union Cup midweek, is too early to say. However, it might quickly happen that the attendance record for home league matches in Celje falls.
The highest attendance Celje’s club recorded in the 1. SNL was almost exactly 15 years ago. On March 14, 2009, Maribor also visited the princely city, and the match ended in a 1:1 draw (Darijo Bišćan scored for the home team, Elvedin Džinić for the guests), witnessed by 4300 spectators.
