Zorman warns that there will be little time to prepare for the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Slovenian men's handball team begins their qualification campaign for the 2028 European Championship against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Koper, followed by a match against Israel in Golovec three days later. Coach Uros Zorman has called up 22 players but faces significant preparation challenges due to injuries to key players like Tilen Kodrin and Blaž Blagotinsek, as well as family reasons preventing captain Blaž Janc from joining early training. Zorman noted that the team will have limited time for full-strength practice before the first match, emphasizing the need for defensive solidity and reduced errors in attack to counter Bosnia's strong counter-attacks. The qualification group also includes Israel and Czechia, with all top two teams from eight groups advancing directly to the tournament. Broadcasts of both matches will be available on TV Slovenia 2.

The road to the 2028 European Championship: Zorman is more concerned about something else than the Bosnians

The Slovenian men's handball team begins their qualification campaign for the 2028 European Championship against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Koper. Coach Uroš Zorman acknowledges his squad as favorites based on the European Handball Federation rankings but emphasizes that limited preparation time poses a greater challenge than the opponents. The team has had only one full training session due to late player arrivals and injuries affecting key players like goalkeeper Klemen Ferlin and defender Blaž Blagotinšek. Zorman warns that the Bosnian team is competitive and not naive, urging focus on internal cohesion rather than external threats. Slovenia aims to secure one of the two direct advancement spots in their group, which also includes Israel and Czechia.
