The 2023 World Cup is fast approaching, and the numbers are coming out little by little. This time, it’s Slovenia’s turn to unveil their group. Unlike France, which announced the final 12 players directly, the 2017 European champions unveiled an extended roster of 20 players for preparation.
Before the 2023 edition, the World Cup trophy travels from country to country. This time she visited Ljubljana and the selection that finished with the chocolate medal at the Tokyo Olympics. The presence of the cup also allowed coach Aleksander Sekulic to announce his squad for the preparation with 20 players pre-selected and ready to blow up everything.

In this list, we find without any surprise Luka Doncic. Will also be present the whipping boy of Nicolas Batum, Klemen Prepelic, the naturalized Mike Tobey as well as the NBA champion Vlatko Cancar. The biggest downside to this squad is the absence of Goran Dragic, spearhead of this workforce of Slovenia before Luka Doncic reaches high school. But no worries for Lulu and her friends, there are still lieutenants in this team with, among others, Edo Muric, Jaka Blazic and Zoran Dragic of course.
While waiting to have the twelve players who will be present at the CDM, Slovenia will prepare for a long time. With in particular a double confrontation once morest Greece of Giannis Antetokounmpo in the Slovenian capital then in Athens. She will then go to Malaga for a big preparation tournament once morest Team USA and the Spanish selection. What a good way to warm up before a World Cup which promises to be dense followingwards. Member of a group with Georgia, Venezuela and Cape Verde, the Slovenians must be solid from the start to avoid unpleasant surprises during the final stages.
