Moštvo iz slovitega Elland Roada, ki je v minuli sezoni osvojilo 13. mesto v Championshipu, po moči drugi angleški ligi, bo od 8. do 18. julija opravilo priprave v Sloveniji. Na sončni strani Alp bodo varovanci Briana McDermotta odigrali tri tekme, dve na stadionu Fazanerija v Murski Soboti in eno, za nas najpomembnejšo, na stadionu v Športnem parku Domžale.
Nadvse zanimiv obračun med Domžalami in nekdanjim evropskim podprvakom bo v soboto, 13. julija ob 19:45. V sklopu tekme bo poskrbljeno tudi za zabavo s koncertom, ki jo organizira društvo Domžalska noč. Pričakovati je večje število navijačev Leedsa, ki zvesto spremljajo svoj klub tudi na pripravah. Lani jih je bilo na Norveškem okoli 3000, podobno število pa jih lahko pričakujemo tudi v Sloveniji.
Domžalčani so zaradi omenjene tekme že zaprosili za prestavitev tekme prvega kola državnega prvenstva 2013/2014, ki se začne ravno tisti konec tedna. Težav s strani vodstva tekmovanja ni pričakovati, saj je bila v minuli sezoni z enako prošnjo uspešna tudi Luka Koper, ki se je pomerila z italijanskim Udinesejem.
In last week’s we have been visited by English weather and in July we will have opportunity to proudly welcome an eminent team from cradle of football. Three time English champion, FA and League Cup holder Leeds United is coming to Sport’s park Domžale for friendly match against two time Slovenian champion and Cup holder Domžale.
The team from famous Elland Road, which finished 13th in Championship last season, England second tier of football, will do basic pre-season preparations form July 8th to July 18th in Slovenia. Brian McDermott men will play three friendly matches on the sunny side of Alps, two in the stadium Fazanerija in Murska Sobota and one, for us the most important one, in the stadium in Sport’s park Domžale.
A fascinating match between Domžale and a former European vice-champion will take place on July 13th at 19:45 cet. The event will be supported with Fan Park in Sport’s park Domžale. A large number of Leeds fans, who faithfully accompany their club in pre-season, are expected. There were around 3000 fans in Norway last year, and a similar number can be expected also in Slovenia.
Because of aforementioned friendly match, NK Domžale has already filed a request to postpone a Round 1 match of Slovenian first League season 2013/2014. No complications are expected, because almost the same request was resolved successfully last season, when Luka Koper played against Udinese from Italy.
