The period between the end of the previous and the start of the new team sports season is always a busy time for the B4 agency. It is marked by organizing training camps and friendly matches for clubs and national teams from all over Europe and other parts of the world at our partner locations in Slovenia. This year, we have also added destinations in neighboring Austria for the first time.
This summer, our agency is organizing training camps for 21 professional football teams, the majority of which are preparing for qualification for European competitions or competing in the strongest European leagues. Iz zibelke nogometa bosta v Kranjsko Goro na priprave pripotovala lanskoletni premierligaš Luton Town in Charlton Athletic, gostili bomo kar tri turška moštva in sicer Konyaspor, Rizespor in Göztepe. Hrvaški velikan Hajduk iz Splita se vrača na Bled, Dinamo Zagreb, Rijeka in Osijek pa se bodo to poletje pripravljali v Avstriji, kjer trening kampe organiziramo primerno v sodelovanju s partnersko agencijo SLFC. From the Balkans, footballers from Belgrade’s Partizan, Čukarički, and Bulgaria’s Hebar have also trained in Slovenia. Additionally, we were pleased to welcome back teams to their traditional training bases: Fehervar, MTK Budapest, Budafoki, Spartak Trnava, Celje, and Bravo. From the East, Ukrainian teams Rukh Lviv and Kryvbas Kryviy Rih, as well as Azerbaijani team Sabah, have arrived at B4 destinations on the sunny side of the Alps.
In addition to the football segment, it is also worth highlighting the training camp of the Slovenian men’s handball team. We collaborated for the first time with the handball players in organizing this year’s journey and preparations before the Olympic qualification tournament in Barcelona. We successfully continued this partnership with preparations in Kranjska Gora ahead of the biggest sporting event of the summer.
We will conclude the summer with a focus on youth national teams, once again organizing international tournaments for men’s and women’s youth football teams in the younger categories, known as the Slovenia Nations Cup.
