22 positive cases of Covid-19 detected in Slovenian women’s soccer team upon arrival in Estonia – Football – Apollo.lv – Sports

The Estonian and Slovenian national team battles for the 2021 European Championships were scheduled for Tuesday in Tallinn, but have now been canceled and the Association of European Football Federations (UEFA) is deciding on the next steps.

The Slovenian national team will return to their homeland by tramp, but they are currently in a hotel in self-isolation.

“The Slovenian women’s team had previously been in a training camp in Maribor, where, as far as we know, several Covid-19 tests were carried out, the last one on October 20. The Slovenians then went from Maribor to Moscow, where they played the European Championship qualifier on 23 October. On October 24, they arrived in Tallinn on a tramp flight, “BNS quoted Mihkel Uiboleht, spokesman for the Estonian Football Federation, as saying.

Slovenians qualify for third place in sub-group A with 12 points in eight games and the battle for the second position is important for them, which would then possibly give a ticket to the final tournament. The Estonians, on the other hand, have one point in seven games and a fight ahead of them not to stay in last place in the group.

It is significant that due to the restrictive measures of Covid-19, the Estonian national team played a couple of UEFA tournament games this year at Sloka Stadium in Jūrmala.

It has already been reported that 60 people were infected with the new coronavir virus in Estonia last day.
