In international circles Slovenia has gained the reputation of a good, reliable and conscientious organizer of high-profile international sports competitions. Sports Federation for the Disabled of Slovenia – Slovenian Paralympic Committee (Zveza ŠIS – SPK) has been entrusted with the organization of SPINT2018, the world para table tennis championship for the individuals in Celje. Laško has already hosted EPINT 2017, the European Para Table Tennis Championship in 2017. Zveza ŠIS – SPK has already organized 16 international Slovenia Open Thermana Laško tournaments in cooperation with Slovenian Table Tennis Association.

The organizing committee of I feel Slovenia Open Thermana Laško is led by Damijan Lazar, the president of Zveza ŠIS – SPK.

Sustainability plays a key role in the organization of the I Feel Slovenia Thermana Laško Open. As a major international sporting event, the tournament has an impact not only through athletic achievements but also on the environment and the local community. Through responsible practices, the organizers aim to demonstrate that it is possible to host a world-class tournament in a thoughtful, inclusive, and environmentally responsible way.

Special attention is given to proper waste separation. Clearly labeled recycling and waste bins for paper, packaging, glass, organic waste, and residual waste have been placed throughout the venue to encourage responsible disposal and minimize environmental impact.

It is also important to reduce the use of single-use products, to use energy and water wisely, and to use materials that can be reused. The sustainability of the tournament is therefore not merely an organisational priority, but a shared responsibility of all participants. Through small actions, a sporting event can set a good example for future events.
