For the first time, the Pokal Pivovarna Union finale brings together two clubs connected by Ticklio. Brinje Grosuplje and Aluminij will meet on 13 May 2026 in Celje, in a cup final that combines football history, strong supporter demand, and practical matchday logistics.
A cup final with a Ticklio connection
The stage is set for the 2026 Pokal Pivovarna Union final. On 13 May 2026, Celje will host a full day of Slovenian cup football, starting with the women’s final between ŽNK Mura Nona and ŽNK Radomlje Medex, followed by the men’s final between Brinje Grosuplje and Aluminij. For Ticklio, the men’s final carries a special connection. Both finalists are clubs that work with Ticklio, making this a unique football occasion where two familiar partners meet on one of the biggest domestic stages of the season.
Two clubs, one major occasion
Brinje Grosuplje have already made club history by reaching the final. Their road to Celje included wins over Jevnica, Bela krajina, Maribor, Kety Emmi Impol Bistrica, Olimpija, and Radomlje — a cup run that turned into the biggest achievement in the club’s history. Aluminij arrive with previous final experience. The club from Kidričevo has reached the cup final twice before, in the 2001/02 and 2017/18 seasons, and now returns to the final stage with another opportunity to compete for the trophy. The final also has wider importance. Slovenia will get a new cup winner, and the winner will secure a place in European competition next season. That gives the match an extra layer of pressure, attention, and excitement.
Two Ticklio-connected clubs. One national cup final. A new Slovenian cup winner will be crowned in Celje.
Supporting fan travel for Brinje Grosuplje supporters
As part of the build-up to the final, Ticklio is also supporting the sale of organized bus transport for Brinje Grosuplje supporters. Due to increased interest, multiple organized buses are available to help fans travel to the venue together and arrive in a structured way. Bus tickets are available until 11 May 2026, with a limited number of seats. It is important to note that the bus ticket covers transport only. Match tickets must be purchased separately by each supporter.
