Hi to everyone, I am new on this forum. I coming from Ljubljana - Slovenia, and for a long time ago my favorite team is Union Olimpija Ljubljana, former Smelt Olimpija. Olimpija plays Euroleague from from the begining of this competition. Before they were playing also the Fiba Euroleague and the last big success is 3rd place in final4 in Rome in 1997, when they lose against Olympiacos in semifinal. They win the game for 3rd place against Asvel with easy. A lot of years Olimpija was playing a big role in the Euroleague. But we know, that the last few years was diferent.



Last few years Olimpija have big financial problems. the directors, presidents, coaches and players was replecing very often and then we also fall in the big crize about the resoults in the euroleague. We know that, if olimpija doesn`t get a good resoult in next year or two, Slovenia will stay out of the Euroleague. Now I am asking you, what is your opinion about Olimpija? Does Olimpija stil have some reputation in europe?

Any self-respecting European basketball fan knows and most importantly supports Olimpija, and other teams like Olimpija, namely Zalgiris, Partizan and others.



Things are tough now for Olimpija, Slovenia and entire EU. So you have to be patient, as we all do, and hope for something better. the most important thing for now is that Olimpija will be saved and exist next season.



The club had a debt of 5m euros, but has committed a couple of million euros to next eyar budget and there are some money left to repay a small percentage of the debt... if that's the best case scenario, then be it. Better days will come.
