Zorman picked fighters for the matches against Bosnia and Israel, what about Anjic? (video)

The Slovenian handball team is preparing for the European Championship qualifiers, with selector Uroš Zorman announcing a list of 22 players invited to participate. Two players, Klemen Ferlin and Blaž Blagotinšek, were not included, with the latter facing competition from time constraints. The team last competed together nearly six months ago, winning against Montenegro and qualifying for the World Championships in Germany next January, which will serve as preparation for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Before the World Championships, Slovenia must win matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Israel to advance in the Euro 2028 qualifiers. Meanwhile, the head of the Slovenian Handball Association, Bor Rozman, signed a sponsorship deal with Crossroad SLO, a Chinese car importer.

The Slovenian men's handball team will face Bosnia and Herzegovina and Israel in two home matches starting November 4 and 7, respectively, as part of their qualification campaign for the European Championship in 2028. Head coach Uroš Zorman has selected 22 players for these games, excluding top-tier players Klemen Ferlin and Blaž Blagotinšek, who are sidelined due to injury and personal commitments, respectively. Zorman described the selection process as challenging, noting that most players were healthy, which made choosing the final roster difficult. He emphasized that the squad includes both seasoned veterans and emerging talents aiming to break into the elite ranks. The team will host both matches at home, swapping hosting duties with Israel, and Zorman highlighted Slovenia’s role as favorites within the group. The group consists of five teams, including the Czech Republic, against whom Slovenia will compete in March. The top two teams from each of eight qualifying groups, along with four best third-place finishers, will qualify for the European Championship. Denmark, the defending champion, will defend its title as the host nation. Selected players include goalkeepers Jože Baznik, Gal Gaberšek, and Miljan Vujović, wing players Tilen Kodrin, Tim Cokan, Domen Novak, and Staš Staninek Jovičić, and backcourt players such as Aljuš Anžič, Nejc Cehte, Mitja Janc, and Blaž Janc. The list also features defenders and attackers from clubs across Europe. The team's upcoming matches will serve as preparation for the World Championship in Germany next January, which will act as a qualifier for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Uroš Zorman: It's a tough choice, because they're all healthy.

The Slovenian men's handball team is preparing for upcoming qualification matches for the European Championship, which will take place later in the year. The team, led by coach Uroš Zorman, will host Bosnia and Herzegovina on November 4th and Israel three days later. Zorman has adjusted the player roster slightly, including both experienced players and those still working their way into the elite ranks. He noted that selecting the squad was particularly challenging due to most players being healthy and available. The team will face Czech Republic in March, and the top two teams from each of eight qualifying groups, along with four best third-place finishers, will qualify for the European Championship. Denmark, the defending champions, will also compete.
