Slovenian sports: Handball league action and European Cup success

In Slovenian handball, RD LL Grosist Slovan prepares for a challenging away match against RK Slovenj Gradec in the third round of the NLB League. Slovan enters the match with two consecutive wins, while Slovenj Gradec remains undefeated this season after a draw against Trimo Trebnje. Stefan Žabić noted the difficulty of playing in Slovenj Gradec due to their intense home crowd support.

In European competition, Gorenje Velenje secured a dominant 38:18 victory against Cyprus's Parnassos Strovolou in the first round of the European Cup. The win provides a significant advantage heading into the return leg. Key performers included Andrej Jankovski with eight goals and goalkeeper Luka Sandič with 18 saves.

In football, Koper is set to face Olimpija in a match hosted in Sežana due to pitch renovations at Bonifika. Koper has shown strong recent form, maintaining a clean sheet in their last four matches.
