What we will do in this experience
Get ready to witness Slovenia’s fiercest football rivalry in the heart of its capital. The Slovenian Derby between NK Olimpija and NK Maribor isn’t just a football match—it’s a clash of identities, cities, and histories. This is your chance to be part of it, not from the sidelines, but right in the middle of the action, guided by a passionate local who lives and breathes this rivalry.
Your day begins in Ljubljana’s vibrant old town, where you’ll meet your local host—a lifelong Olimpija fan who will welcome you with stories, context, and a cold beer or coffee to set the tone. As you explore the charming streets together, you’ll hear tales of NK Olimpija’s legacy, the deep-seated tension with Maribor, and what makes this derby one of the most emotionally charged fixtures in the Balkans.
Before heading to the stadium, you’ll join locals at a real pre-match gathering spot—far away from tourist crowds—where home fans warm up with traditional Slovenian food, drinks, and fiery debates. Here, you’ll not just observe; you’ll be invited in, part of the build-up, part of the ritual. With your host, you’ll get exclusive insights into the chants, the history, and the stories that don’t make it into guidebooks.
As kickoff approaches, you’ll head with your group to Stožice Stadium, where thousands of voices rise in unison, flares light up the air, and the rivalry takes on a life of its own. Your match ticket is included and you’ll be seated among the home fans, so expect 90 minutes of passion, drama, and unforgettable noise. Your host will be with you throughout the match, explaining chants, sharing live commentary, and making sure you feel the pulse of the derby every minute.
This isn’t just another stadium tour—it’s an authentic matchday experience curated to immerse you in Slovenian football culture. You’ll leave with more than just photos—you’ll take with you real memories of an epic rivalry, local stories that connect you to the city, and the feeling of having lived the Slovenian Derby like a true fan.
Whether you’re a football purist, a culture seeker, or simply curious about the soul of Slovenian sport, this experience delivers the perfect blend of matchday adrenaline and cultural immersion—all in one unforgettable day in Ljubljana.
