A falling-out at Bistrica

Denis Vezjak and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Bistrica

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Vid Štefanec was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces9 Nov 2026

The crowd has taken to Vid Štefanec

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Žan Leban

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Žan Leban, and the manager let it.

Squad9 Nov 2026

9 new faces, and Bistrica are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Vid Štefanec stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.56 on the card, and the Bistrica support went home talking about one name.

Match7 Nov 2026

Bistrica share the spoils with Tabor Sežana

A 1‑1 draw with Tabor Sežana leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Half-satisfied: Filip Vipotnik on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Squad9 Nov 2026

A ban for Matevž Vrabec

One booking too many, and a game watched from the stand. Bistrica lose him for the most avoidable reason in the sport.

Match29 Aug 2026

Nik Zrnec breaks Nafta 1903 hearts

Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Nik Zrnec scored in the 86th minute, Nafta 1903 had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Bistrica took the lot.

Market31 Aug 2026

Bistrica turn down Bravo for Nik Pirečnik

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Bistrica

Denis Vezjak was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Bistrica

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Andraž Borovnik was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

NK Krka tell Bistrica: Niko Domjanić is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match29 Aug 2026

Bistrica find a way past Nafta 1903

Nafta 1903 made Bistrica work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

One of their own: Inas Kukavica

He is 18 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Mirco Mazzeo gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Matevž Vrabec has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Bistrica know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Match19 Aug 2026

Bistrica bow out of the cup

Nafta 1903 go through and Bistrica go home, 2‑4 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Mirco Mazzeo keeps Bistrica in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A move Marcel Kobal would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Marcel Kobal is living that version at Bistrica, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market24 Aug 2026

As if he never left: Marcel Kobal returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Marcel Kobal is a Bistrica player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Bistrica

Denis Vezjak and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match19 Aug 2026

Filip Bijol among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Filip Bijol on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Bistrica and Nafta 1903.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Bistrica training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vid Štefanec is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Nino Vukasović

Bistrica asked and NK Celje said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match22 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Bistrica against Dravinja

1‑2 to Dravinja, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
