Club career

Žiga Repas was born on May 29, 2001 and started playing football as a child. In September 2008 at the latest, he was registered as a junior soccer player with NK Domžale and went through all age groups there in the following years. Until the 2015/16 season he was in the U-15 team, for which he had scored eight goals in 19 league games, but made the leap into the club's U-17 team in the following season 2016/17 , for which he appeared in the 1st Slovenska Kadetska Liga . Repas scored once in 20 championship appearances and was then a regular in this team in the 2017/18 season. He was used in 24 league games this season and contributed five goals. For the next season, Repas made the leap into the U-19 squad of the club that played in the 1st Slovenska Mladinska League and made 16 league appearances - personally goalless - in the 2018/19 season. There were also two appearances in the Mladinska Cup of the 2018/19 season. In the end, the team became Slovenian U-19 football champions, displacing the otherwise successful offspring of NK Maribor . In the penultimate championship game of the Slovenska Nogometna Liga 2018/19 he was substituted on by his coach Simon Rožman on May 22, 2019 in the 60th minute of play for Mark Čeh , who also made his professional debut that day ; the game ended in a 4-1 away win over NK Triglav Kranj . In the final standings he and the team reached third place in the table and thus qualified for the first qualifying round for the 2019/20 UEFA Europa League .

In the first leg of the first qualifying round, Repas came on as a substitute for Matej Podlogar from the 77th minute in the 4: 3 away win against FC Balzan from Malta . Just a few days later, he also appeared as a substitute in the first league game against NK Rudar Velenje . For about a month he was regularly on the substitute bench of the professional team and was used again and again. For the most part, however, he was still used in the U-19 team trained by Darko Birjukov . From mid-August 2019, he then belonged again exclusively to the team in the 1st Slovenska Mladinska League and was no longer called up to the professional squad until the game was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovenia in March 2020. To date (as of April 24, 2020), the young midfielder had played in three league games and two Europa League games; in the latter competition he was eliminated with the team in the second qualifying round against Malmö FF . With the club's U-19 team, the reigning champions, he entered the 2019/20 UEFA Youth League in autumn 2019 . After advancing in the first round against FC Viitorul Constanța from Romania, he and his team lost in the following second round against the offspring of FC Porto , which led to an early elimination from the tournament.

National team career

Repas gained his first experience in a youth national team of the Slovenian Football Association in 2017, when he made his debut on September 19 in a 2-4 defeat of the Slovenian U-17 juniors against their colleagues from Croatia . After another international match against Croatia two days later, he also appeared in the third game of the first qualifying round for the U-17 European Championship against France on October 25, 2017 . As a runner-up behind the French, the Slovenes then made it into the subsequent elite round of qualification. Repas was not used in this, but was able to play four friendly matches for the U-17 team in his home country between the beginning of February and the beginning of March 2018 in preparation for the elite round. He then took part in the European Championship in May 2018 with the Slovenians, who were first in Group 7 of the elite round to qualify for the European Championship finals in England . Here he appeared in Group B in the first game against Sweden and in the second game against Portugal . In the last group game, when the early elimination of the Slovenes was already certain, other players were given preference.

It then took almost a year before Repas was again considered for a Slovenian national team. At the end of April 2019, he was used in two friendly international matches against the U-18 national team of Montenegro in the Slovenian U-18 selection . On June 13, 2019, there was another friendly against Serbia . Just two months later, the 18-year-old midfielder made his debut in the Slovenian U-19 national team when he started in a 2-4 defeat against Italy and was replaced by Miha Kancilija at halftime . At the beginning of September and beginning of October, two more friendlies followed, including on October 8, 2019, in a 4-3 win over Croatia in a double in the opposing goal. Another month later, he played the first qualifying round for the 2020 European Championship with the Slovenian U-19 juniors , playing as a substitute in the games against Sweden and Estonia and qualifying with his home country for the elite round of qualification. Between the beginning of February and the beginning of March 2020, he then played the preparation for the elite round and appeared in three international matches against Turkey (2 ×) and Austria . The elite round itself, for which Repas was also planned, did not take place as planned at the end of March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic , but was postponed indefinitely.
