When FC Koper entered the European stage this summer, their focus wasn’t only on performance on the pitch. Behind the scenes, the club’s operations team was preparing for a different kind of challenge: managing ticketing independently for the first time. It took just two home matches for the staff to take full control, and they did it with confidence.

A Sold-Out Start: Koper vs Željezničar

The first real test came on July 17, 2025, when FC Koper hosted Željezničar Sarajevo in the UEFA Conference League. With the first leg ending 1–1, the return match at Bonifika Stadium was crucial.

The stakes were high, the stadium was sold out, and the atmosphere electric. Koper delivered with a 3–1 win, sending them through to the next round and giving staff their first experience managing ticketing under pressure.

Round Two: Hosting Viking FK

The second match came quickly. On July 31, Koper welcomed Viking FK from Norway. Although the result on the pitch didn’t go their way, the operations team handled everything smoothly.

Once again, the staff managed the full ticketing process from online sales to on-site scanning with no external help. After just two matches, they were already operating with full independence.
