Major football teams are selflessly helping to solve the refugee crisis

Europe is facing its worst refugee crisis since World War II. Hundreds of thousands of people - most of them from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan - are forced to leave their homes because of the war. In Europe, they are met with both support and hostility. And while leaders on the continent are still trying to resolve the refugee issue, major football teams across Europe are already helping to tackle the crisis. Football will always be a religion in Europe, but these days it proves that some things are simply more important than what happens in ninety minutes on the pitch.

European Basketball Championship 2015 - Slovenians start their hunt for high places against Croats #EuroBasket 2015

The European Basketball Championship 2015 is just around the corner. This year will be something special (well, hands down, EuroBasket 2013, hosted by Slovenia, was even more so), as it is shared by four countries, namely Germany, Latvia, France and Croatia. The proximity (Slovenia will play the preliminaries in Zagreb) will give the championship an extra boost, as we will practically be playing at home again. A real migration of nations is thus expected to the Arena. Since 1993, Slovenia has not missed a single basketball tournament of the old continent, and the last five have always reached the quarterfinals. Is it time to go one step further? The championship starts on September 5 and ends on September 20, 2015, and Slovenia opens it on Saturday with a match against the Croatians.

Teqball is a cross between soccer and ping pong

Teqball is a relatively new sport that is a cross between soccer and ping pong. From the latter, he borrowed a table, which is not a flat but a convex surface, and he changed the rackets and the ball for legs (and other limbs) and a soccer ball. It is suitable for two or four players, and thanks to the transparent "net" that can be raised above the normal level, table tennis table tennis can also be played solo. The rules are similar to those of ping pong, but clearly adapted, and the game does not only bring a lot of fun, because with it you will greatly improve your control of the ball, so it is ideal also and especially for those who practice football.

Onean - an electric surfboard that doesn't need waves

Waves. The eternal variable for surfers on the water. One time they are too big, the second time they are too small, the third time they are not there. We recently wrote about the surfer paradise Snowdinia, a reservoir lake with artificial waves that carry surfers up to 150 meters and remove many variables from the equation. What if we told you that you can now take the waves out of the equation? That you can also surf on the Slovenian coast, whether there are waves or not? This is what the Onean electric surfboard offers, which is ideal for all those who don't have the patience to wait for the right wave and would like to glide across the surface of the water wherever and whenever they want.

Footgolf - a mixture between football and golf has also taken off in Slovenia

Golf is too expensive a sport for you, and you don't play soccer because you have two left feet. Maybe it's time to try footgolf, a young recreational sport discipline that emerged in 2006, and the first tournament as we know it today was organized in 2008 in the Netherlands. Since then, his popularity has spread like wildfire, and after "foot golf" drove America crazy, he also set foot on Slovenian soil in the spring. You can play a game of footgolf in Bovec, Piran and Ptuj.

Fabric – a bike bottle that does not need a carrier

Hydration is an important part of cycling and crucial on longer rides. But if you've ever looked a little deeper into a bike, then you know that every additional piece of equipment adds weight to it, which means more work for you. One such bicycle "dust collector" is a water bottle holder, which, frankly, is not excessively heavy, but any more serious cyclist will know what we are talking about. That's why there's Fabric, a bike bottle that doesn't need a rack.
