3. European history
In 2006 RK Celje Pivovarna Laško celebrated 60th anniversary (founded in 1946). All major
achievements are listed below. With all great results in history, Celje begun with European
performances in 1992 in a pre-round of European Champions Cup where they were knocked
out by the former as well as new European champion Zagreb. Next season Celje finished up
in the Champions League (7th – 8th place) and in 1994-1996 had two poorer European
seasons where they were eliminated in a second round of the Champions Cup (Zagreb and
Veszprem). In 1996/97 they have played in a first semi final against actual European
champion Barcelona and lost by a goal (home defeat -5, victory in Barcelona +4). Also next
four seasons ended in semi finals (twice against Barcelona, Zagreb, Portland San Antonio),
and in 2001/02 in ¼ finals against Magdeburg. Since in 2002 Celje lost a home trophy
against Prule Ljubljana, next European season started in European Cup winner’s cup and
reached semi finals where they lost against later champion Ciudad Real. Celje’s greatest
success came in 2003/04, when RK Celje Pivovarna Laško became European champion and
later that year European super champion. In that season Celje has been faced with a
thirteen goal defeat in 1/8 finals first leg match in Ademar Leon. The return match was also
an opening of a new sports hall named Zlatorog (Goldhorn, brand of Pivovarna Laško
beer). That was probably the greatest opening of all times. Celje won by thirteen and
secured a place in quarter finals where they defeated Lemgo. In semi finals they defeated
Ciudad Real and in the finals Flensburg Handewitt. Season 2004/05 started with a
Supercup title (in Ciudad Real Celje defeated home team in semi final and THW Kiel in the
final). Later that season Celje played EHF Champions league semi finals against Barcelona
and lost. Since then results of Celje went down a little bit (2005 / 06 – ¼ finals, 2006/07 –
1/8 finals, 2007/08, 2008/09 – Champions League Main round).
20 Years of Cooperation with Pivovarna Laško
On 17th September 2010 we will celebrate 20 years since Pivovarna Laško had signed the
first two-year contract on general sponsorship with the Handball Club Celje. With the
contract signatures began the most successful period of otherwise quite rich Celje history
of handball. That was the period in which no other sports team in Slovenia could exceed in
performance. Rokometni klub Celje Pivovarna Laško and its logotype – capricorn –
handballer, ascended the European summit and remained invincible on the home territory
during a long period of time. In July 2009 we have signed new four year contract with
Pivovarna Laško Group.

4. Arena
Zlatorog Hall
Celje was one of the organizers of the 2004 European Championship. On October 3rd 2002
the members of parliament Celje decisively voted in favor of construction of a new sports
hall. The foundation stone was laid on April 16th and construction was completed in
December 2003. On this day the Zlatorog sports hall became the home of the handball
players of RK Celje Pivovarna Laško. The new Zlatorog sports hall facilitates a vicious
atmosphere for the visitors, making it possible for the handball of Celje and Slovenia to
achieve the greatest feat of Slovenian handball history within the first game season: The
title of the European Champion in the Champions League!
How to get to the hall:

6. Fans
The Club’s fans are a special chapter of its history. Main companions on European matches
are “Florijani” fan group that usually gets help from numerous fans from all over Slovenia.
In April 2005 Dr. Stane Pinter, deputy Fair Play Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia,
presented a special written recognition for fair play to Igor Šolman, the president of
“Florijani”. The fans, headed by “Florijani”, represented the 8th player of Celje Pivovarna
Laško and considerably contributed to the success of the Club. (“all the way to the grave”).

7. City of Celje
Celje with its 50.000 inhabitants is situated on southeastern part of Savinja-valley. In the first
century b.c., the Celts settled down under Miklavski hill and after them always new, interesting
immigrants, which have created rich history of Celje.
Celje is just another small provincial town, the kind you pass trough everywhere in Central
Europe. True, perhaps. Central European towns are all fairly similar, after all. In their outward
appearance, their urban planning and architecture, in their exemplary order and in the mentality
of their inhabitants. But they can also be very different. Celje too, the »white and bright« town,
is similar to these towns, but at the same time it differs significantly from them. Not simply
because of its marvelous surroundings, which provide constantly new inspiration to artists, but
perhaps because of its rich history. A history which is not a burden, but which inspires. A
history which is always providing fresh surprises.
In general the word Celje does not trigger an avalanche of associations in the way that
established tourist centers do, but at the same it does have some associations. Memories are
continually conjured at least of the Celje counts and the heart-rending tale of the star-crossed
love between Friderik and Veronika, and in just a moment we can also picture the potent image
of the old castle high above the town on the Savinja river. Celje has its own mark, its historical
memory and with- in this it holds moments of magnificent glory and power, as will as having a
full life today, complete with everything a true town should have: a theatre, galleries and
concerts, monuments, hotels and restaurants, parks, churches, shopping centers, pigeons….
We invite you on a tour of The old castle, which reminds us on the importance of the Counts of
Celje (after 1436 – Princes) in central European area, a visit of the city centre and many hidden
curiosities on our nearby surroundings.
