TEAM PROFILE<br />
Slovenia became the last team to qualify for the Women’s EHF <strong>EURO</strong> 2016,<br />
through qualification as the best third ranked team.<br />
In total, Slovenia have qualified for four previous World <strong>Champ</strong>ionships and<br />
four EHF <strong>EURO</strong> events, not counting the upcoming one, but they failed to make<br />
it to the EHF <strong>EURO</strong> 2014 and the World <strong>Champ</strong>ionship 2015. The last time<br />
Slovenia were part of a major event was at the EHF <strong>EURO</strong> 2010 in Denmark and<br />
Norway when they finished last.<br />
The best result on a <strong>EURO</strong> level was 9 th in 2004. Now it is the job of Uros<br />
Bregar, who took over the team just before the beginning of qualification, to<br />
rebuild a team with only a small number of experienced players such as captain<br />
Nina Jericek, on the one hand, but with promising young guns like Polona Baric,<br />
Tamara Mavsar and Ana Gros, on the other.<br />
