Slovenia

Ranked 54th globally, Slovenia, led by manager Matjaž Kek, ventures into the 2024 Euros carrying the underdog's mantle. Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak not only graces the team as a standout player but also shoulders the responsibility of team captain, epitomising Slovenia's aspirations for a noteworthy campaign. Despite a solitary Euro appearance in 2000 where they fell short in the group stage and without a major international tournament victory, Slovenia enters this competition buoyed by an indomitable spirit. Their underdog status doesn't negate their potential to surprise; rather, it fuels their determination to challenge established notions. With Oblak's leadership and a squad eager to leave a mark, Slovenia embraces this tournament as a platform to defy expectations and assert their presence on the European footballing stage.
