And finally it’s here! The European Football Championship has begun in Germany. This marks Slovenia’s second-ever qualification for the European Championship. We are in group C, which means we will play against Denmark, England and Serbia. Slovenian fans are already full of energy, enthusiastic and ready for exciting, tense matches, and proud of our representatives. There will be outdoor screenings of football games and most bars will be showing them as well. <\/p>

Football is number one sport in Slovenia so it is such a special event and time for Slovenes!<\/p>

Slovenia has achieved some significant successes on the international stage in recent years, but in the last European Championship, they did not advance past the group stage. Nevertheless, expectations are high this time around, as experts, fans, and betting agencies consider Slovenia among the potential surprises of the tournament. The first goal often mentioned by our players is to advance from the group, which is considered one of the tougher ones in the entire tournament. The top two teams from each group are guaranteed to advance to the knockout stages, and an additional four best third-placed teams will also qualify. If Slovenia makes it to the knockout stages, their further opponents will depend on their final group placement.<\/p>
