The team will train in Laktaši over the coming days, with its first friendly scheduled for August 20 against Vienna. After that, Igokea will travel to Kranjska Gora for the main phase of its preparations for the upcoming competitive commitments. During their stay in Slovenia, Igokea m:tel will also face Krka, Napoli and Bahçeşehir.
“We have put together a team of players who are hungry and eager to prove themselves. This is perhaps the Igokea team with the fewest big-name players in the last ten years, but I am extremely satisfied with the players we have selected and with their character. We will need time and patience, but I am full of optimism. It is up to us to grow and improve through training. Our goal is to win all the domestic trophies, and anything beyond that will simply be a bonus,” said Nenad Stefanović, head coach of KK Igokea m:tel.
Upon returning from Slovenia, Igokea will play a game against Šenčur before travelling to Moscow for the VTB Super Cup. Dragan Milosavljević will continue to wear the captain’s armband next season.

Igokea m:tel počela sa treninzima pred novu sezonu
Košarkaši Igokea m:tel priveli su kraju ljetni odmor i pod komandom Nenada Stefanovića krenuli su sa pripremama za novu sezonu.
Narednih dana treniraće se u Laktašima, a prva kontrolna utakmica na programu je 20. avgusta protiv ekipe Beča. Nakon toga slijedi odlazak u Kranjsku goru na glavni trenažni dril za predstojeće takmičarske obaveze, a tokom boravka u Sloveniji košarkaši Igokea m:tel odmjeriće snage sa Krkom, Napolijem i Bahčešehirom.
„Napravili smo tim od igrača koji su gladni i željni dokazivanja. Ovo je ekipa Igokee sa možda i najmanje zvučnih imena u posljednjih deset godina, ali ja sam prezadovoljan sa igračima koje smo odabrali i sa njihovim karakterom. Trebaće nam vremena i strpljenja, ali sam pun optimizma. Na nama je da rastemo i da kroz trening napredujemo. Naš cilj je da osvojimo sve domaće trofeje, a sve preko toga će da bude samo plus.“ rekao je Nenad Stefanović, trener Igokee m:tel.
Igokea će po povratku iz Slovenije odigrati utakmicu sa Šenčurom, a potom ekipa odlazi na VTB Superkup u Moskvu. Kapitensku traku i naredne sezone dužiće Dragan Milosavljević.
