Sports Events in Occupied Celje (1941–1945)
Keywords:
Celje, Sport, World War IIAbstract
The article describes sports events in Celje during the occupation from 1941 to 1945. Archival sources about sport during the occupation are fragmentary and kept by several archives across Slovenia. To get a clearer picture of the situation in sports in occupied Celje, the article relies on secondary sources, mainly newspapers. The contemporary newspapers Marburger Zeitung and Štajerski gospodar regularly covered sports events in Lower Styria. Priority was given to football, major sports events of senior teams and the German Youth competitions. The article presents contemporary sports associations and disciplines in occupied Celje and the results for local teams and individual athletes. Also presented are major sporting events of the teams from Lower and Austrian Styria that took place in Celje and the German Youth sports events that were hosted by Celje.
