ŽNK Ljubljana was supposed to face ŽNK Radomlje Medex on Sunday, September 15, but the match was postponed to a later date. It was played on Thursday, September 26, and after a dramatic finish, the match was won by Ljubljana. However, it did not go without complications; the delegation of the match angered the home team, which also published an official statement on its social media.
Urška Žganec, coach of ŽNK Ljubljana, dissatisfied with the approach of those responsible
“I still do not understand how ŽNK Radomlje, along with the competition sector, could delegate a match to us at home through regulations. Our team includes older players who are amateurs, many of whom also have jobs outside of football. The timing did not suit us; the players are tired, and situations like this lead to more and more injuries. I am not surprised that mostly sixteen-year-olds are playing in the senior league. Players who have jobs find it increasingly difficult to balance work with football, as matches can be rescheduled multiple times and at the last minute. Therefore, the girls use their vacation days or swap days off. I wonder whether this is due to incompetence on the part of those responsible for women’s competitions, or if they simply do not care and only think about getting the league played. Tomorrow, we have a slightly tougher task ahead. We play against ŽNK Mura, whom we have yet to defeat. Above all, I hope we finish the match without injuries. Nevertheless, we approach every match with the intention to win, and we will have the same approach tomorrow,” said the dissatisfied coach of ŽNK Ljubljana, Urška Žganec.
