The Slovenia national football team (Slovene: Slovenska nogometna reprezentanca) represents Slovenia in men's international football and is controlled by the Football Association of Slovenia, the governing body for football in Slovenia. The national squad is under the global jurisdiction of FIFA and is governed in Europe by UEFA. It competes in the three major professional tournaments available to European nations: the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Nations League and the UEFA European Championship. Slovenia played its first official match in 1992, one year after the country gained independence from Yugoslavia. The majority of Slovenia's home matches are played at Stozice Stadium in Ljubljana.

Slovenia have qualified for a major tournament four times, twice for the FIFA World Cup and twice for the UEFA European Championship, but have never progressed beyond the group stage of a finals tournament. At the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Slovenia achieved their first (and so far only) victory in a major tournament, defeating Algeria 1–0. The team have achieved some noteworthy results, such as beating the 2006 FIFA World Cup winners Italy 1–0 in 2004, which was Italy's only defeat in the entire 2006 World Cup campaign. Their biggest defeat came in 2002 with a 5–0 loss to France, while their highest-scoring victory was a 7–0 win over Oman in 1999.

Bostjan Cesar holds the record for most appearances for Slovenia, having played 101 times between 2003 and 2018. Zlatko Zahovic scored 35 goals for Slovenia and is the record holder for most goals scored.<\/P>","97493DA145895B7F":"15064","5D60482112F81397E864AECB05D29C32":"Minor tournaments<\/U><\/STRONG>

Experienced, powerful and aggressive, Bostjan Cesar has emerged as a rock at the heart of Slovenia’s notoriously miserly defence. Already a veteran of over 40 international appearances, the Grenoble centre-half was a key figure as the Zmajceki racked up an incredible seven clean sheets in just 12 qualifiers en route to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. <\/P>

Described as “a real competitor” and “a defender’s defender” by former manager Tony Mowbray, Cesar’s height, physical presence and defensive instincts have made him a regular at international level under Matjaz Kek. These qualities have also made him a valuable player in Croatian, French and English club football, with the 27-year-old having enjoyed spells with Dinamo Zagreb, Marseille, West Bromwich Albion and, most recently, Grenoble.<\/P>

It was in Zagreb, at the age of 19, that Cesar’s professional career began in earnest, with a five-year spell yielding early success, including a league title in 2003, two Croatian Cups and two Supercups. By 2005, Marseille had seen enough to sign the big centre-half on a three-year deal, and he went on to feature frequently for the French giants in a season that witnessed them reach the final of Coupe de France.<\/P>

First team appearances proved more difficult to come by the following season, however, and in 2007 Cesar took on a new challenge by joining West Bromwich Albion on a season-long loan, linking up with current Slovenia captain Robert Koren. The Baggies had just been relegated from the English Premier League, but Cesar helped them bounce back at the first time of asking, performing solidly in a triumphant title-winning campaign.<\/P>

A permanent move did not materialise though, and the centre-half returned to Marseille before signing a two-year deal with Grenoble in January of last year. Cesar has since become a first team regular at the Stade des Alpes, and will arrive in South Africa hopeful of further enhancing his reputation. It will also be worth keeping an eye on his duel with Wayne Rooney when Slovenia face England on 23 June. The pair enjoyed quite a battle when the sides met in a friendly last September, and Cesar – who accused Rooney of deliberately injuring him – has promised to make the rematch “an unpleasant experience” for the Manchester United star.<\/P>","7FB3F46040506B81":"Slovenia","e_index":5};
