Slovenian football: ŽNK Radomlje season prep and goalkeeper training analysis

ŽNK Radomlje Medex is preparing for the 2026/27 season opener against ŽNK Olimpija. Team captain Jona Javorič expressed positive energy and motivation, emphasizing that the team has grown in maturity and experience. The squad features new additions, including Montenegrin international goalkeeper Aleksandra Popović, and has strengthened its attack with Mirjam Kastelec.

In a separate analysis of Slovenian football development, goalkeeper coach Boris Yakubovskiy addressed systemic gaps in training. While noting that Slovenian goalkeepers possess excellent physical conditioning and athleticism, he argues they face a "glass ceiling" due to a lack of theoretical algorithms and modeling for specific game situations, such as long-distance shots and positioning during ground passes. He suggests that for talents to reach elite levels, they often need to seek tactical refinement in foreign leagues, citing Jan Oblak as an example.
