Matic Rebec will help the Dragons in the upcoming month

After numerous health problems that have affected the members of Cedevita Olimpija’s team, Matic Rebec, a member of the golden Slovenian national team from 2017, will come to the aid of the Ljubljana team next month in the matches of the regional league and 7DAYS EuroCup.

At the start of the new competitive season, the member team of Cedevita Olimpija is struggling with a number of health problems, which have completely decimated the current Slovenian national, cup and super cup champions. The 27-year-old point guard Matic Rebec, who was a member of the Slovenian men’s national team that won the title of European champion in 2017, will come to the dragons’ aid for a month. Rebec was a great help in the training sessions of the team of the head coach Jurica Golemac during the summer due to the absence of many players who were on national team duty.

Rebec last wore the jersey of the Italian team Agribertocchi Orzinuovi, and before that he was part of the teams Chieti Basket 1974, Basket Ravenna, Rouen Métropole Basket, Rasta Vechta, Cibona, Gipuzkoa, FMP, Sixt Primorska, Enisey, Krka, Rogaška and Helios. In addition to the title of European champion from 2017, Rebec also has two Slovenian Cup champion titles (2016, 2018) and the title of the most valuable player of the Spar Cup final tournament from 2018. In 2019, Rebec was also the leading player of the regional league in the statistical category of assists.

“Unfortunately, the start of the season is not going as we would like. Many guys are affected by injuries, we also find ourselves in the grip of some other health problems that make the training process very difficult, and we all want everyone to recover as quickly as possible and join us in training and matches. Matic Rebec was part of our training process for practically the entire preparatory period, so he knows his new teammates, and at the same time, he also knows the game system of our head coach Golemac, with whom he also worked in Koper years ago. We believe that Matic will be able to come to our aid in this short period, not only in training, but also in matches,” said Cedevita Olimpija’s Sports Director, Sani Bečirović, upon signing a short-term contract with Rebec.
