Premier League club, Chelsea, recruits croatian goal keeper Matej Delac. Matej won the gold medal in Gothia Cup 2007 with his club NK Inter-Zapresic.
Matej Delac
It was during the tournament of 2007 when the (then) 15 year old keeper Matej Delac won the Gothia Cup in the 18 year old class together with croatian team mates from NK Inter-Zapresic. They played and won the final against swedish IF Elfsborg 1-0. NK Inter-Zapresic got the chance to participate in Gothia Cup after winning a ”Meet the World” tournament in Croatia. Meet the World is a global international event that Gothia Cup arranges together with major sponsor SKF. Prize for the winning team is the travel and participation to the Gothia World Youth Cup. Matej has now signed a five year contract with Chelsea.
Matej Delac is 17 years old and will join the London-based club after his 18th birthday in August, later this year.
Gothia Cup congratulates and wishes Matej Delac good luck with his professional football career. We will keep our eyes open for the Gothia All Star Team, as we are missing a goal keeper for the moment….
