On April 1, 2018, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, appointed Rožle Prezelj as the first Sports Ombudsman in Slovenia. He was appointed for a period of five years. The procedure with the Sports Ombudsman is informal, confidential and free of charge. His activities are focused primarily on the protection of athletes and sports workers' rights.
