Cops have been called in after the incident.

A new incident involving players from NK Koper has led to police involvement, with the Slovenian Football Association (NZS) also commenting on the situation. The dispute reportedly occurred after a match between NK Koper and NK Radomlje at the Stadion Bonifika. According to reports, there was a physical altercation between representatives of both clubs. The conflict centered around Ivica Guberac, the head of the club, who was involved in a confrontation with two officials from Radomlje, Greg and Matjaž Marinšek. Players from Radomlje accused Guberac of physically confronting Marinšek, while others claimed that Guberac and three unknown individuals inflicted physical harm. NK Koper did not provide extensive details, instead issuing a brief statement through their official channels. They stated that they had filed a complaint with the police against the officials from Radomlje. “After the attack on the director of FC Koper, Mr. Ivica Guberac, a report was submitted to the police against the officials of NK Radomlje,” the statement read. “We will leave further proceedings to the competent authorities, therefore we will not comment on the matter until the investigation concludes.” The NZS, which oversees football in Slovenia, responded swiftly to the incident. In a statement, they condemned any form of violence during matches or in their surrounding areas. “The Slovenian Football Association is aware of the incident that took place following the Sunday league match between NK Koper and NK Radomlje at the Stadion Bonifika,” the association said. “According to initial information, a physical confrontation occurred between representatives of both clubs. The NZS strongly condemns any form of violence at matches and in their vicinity. Such behavior is not acceptable in football.” The NZS emphasized that such actions violate not just rules but also the values upon which Slovenian football stands, respect, integrity, responsibility, and passion for the game. Further clarification came from the NZS, which indicated that they would conduct their own investigation into the matter. “Competent authorities will thoroughly examine all available facts and reports from the match, and make decisions regarding potential disciplinary procedures based on these findings,” the association added. “Until the procedure is concluded, the NZS will not provide assessments on the course of events or the responsibilities of individuals. Further steps and conclusions will be communicated to the public once allowed by the possible disciplinary process.” Ivica Guberac, whose role in the incident has been central, has not publicly commented beyond the statements issued by his club. His son, Ante Guberac, has previously expressed concerns over controversial situations during Slovenian football matches. This latest incident marks another troubling episode in the ongoing tensions within Slovenian football, particularly concerning the management of matches and the conduct of officials. As the investigations continue, the outcome of this case could have broader implications for the governance and culture of Slovenian football. The NZS’s decision to take matters into its own hands suggests a growing willingness to address misconduct directly, even as it leaves the specifics of the incident open to further scrutiny. For now, the focus remains on the legal and disciplinary processes that will determine the final resolution.
