Meet Slovenia’s gorgeous Wags, including a mummy blogger and tennis professional
ENGLAND’S final opponents in Group C come in the shape of Slovenia.
After the disappointing draw against Denmark, the Three Lions know nothing but a win will do to seal a top place finish.
While the team from the Balkans have their own designs on qualifying for the knockout stages.
Cheering our opponents on will be their stunning Wags.
From a mummy blogger to a pro tennis star who has been victorious at Wimbledon, here are the Slovenia stars’ partners.

Mia calls herself ‘Simple like quantum physics’ on her Instagram.
But, the glam Wag, who is engaged to Andraz Sporar, seems anything but.

Mia is also well tuned to fashion, showing off her love for Dior – wearing the brand in multiple outfits.
Wera Blazic
Wera is Slovenia’s most popular Wag and another complete fashionista.
She married midfielder Miha Blazic in December, 2023 in a glitzy ceremony at a five-star Kempinski Palace hotel in their homeland.
Wera’s Instagram is also an ode to her favourite designers, and where she shows off lavish purchases like Chanel shoes and Tom Ford make-up.
The pretty brunette has 108,000 followers on Instagram.
Olga Danilovic
From the most popular to the most famous, Olga is a pro tennis player.
Her highest ranking was 104 in the world, but don’t let that fool you into thinking she hasn’t scored any success.
Danilovic, 23, scored plenty of success in the Junior Grand Slams in various doubles events.
In 2016, she lifted the French Open title while in 2017 she added Wimbledon and US Open titles to her honours.
Her other half is shotstopper Jan Oblak.
Tjasa Hudolin
Mummy blogger Tjasa is enamoured by her two children with Aljaz Cotman, who missed out on selection for his country.
But the pair have taken to social media to support Slovenia and get into the spirit of the Euros.
Tjasa is a well-known influencer in the country, who is often asked to partner with wellness brands and shares her parenting tips to her 20,000 followers.
Ana Mlakar
Ana is well-versed to the English way of life, so she will know exactly what this game means.
Her husband Jan Mlakar, who is currently playing for Pisa in Serie B, also turned out for Brighton, QPR and Wigan.
The loved-up pair said their ‘I do’s’ at the fancy Tri Lucke hotel in Slovenia in 2022.
They share two children, as well as a loveable British Bulldog called Cocco who has its own Instagram.
Slovenia Euro 2024 guide
THE SCOTLAND of the Balkans – Slovenia have qualified for three tournaments since independence in 1990 but never reached the knockout stages.
However, striker Benjamin Sesko is touted as the next Erling Haaland and gives the Slovenes reason to be more optimistic this time.
MANAGER: Matjaz Kek
In his second spell as boss and has been in charge since 2018 – lost just two qualifying games despite having to overcome the death of his father.
STAR MAN: Jan Oblak
The Slovenes will hope that Sesko can provide the goals at one end while Oblak, one of the best goalkeepers in the world, can keep them out at the other.
How Slovenia attack
Slovenia will be one of few teams at the Euros to play a 4-4-2, with Sesko partnering former Middlesbrough striker Andraz Sporar up front.
When Slovenia attack, the two wingers will come inside to play as makeshift attacking midfielders in a front four. They are also dangerous on the counter-attack.
How Slovenia defend
Slovenia will play in two banks of four and drop deep to deny the opposition space.
They will not break out of their shape to press under almost any circumstances.

She regularly shares Elsnik’s tweets, following the team’s progress.
