Maj Mittendorfer, the former captain of Koper, left the club a year before his contract expired and moved to the lesser-known Kazakhstani club Elimai. Elimai announced that they signed a contract with the 26-year-old Slovenian centre-back Maj Mittendorfer, who transferred from Slovenian club Koper. In the previous season, Maj Mittendorfer played 27 matches and scored two goals in all competitions for Koper; his performance in the Prva Liga included 23 appearances, 2 goals, and 1 assist. Elimai wished Maj Mittendorfer much success in his time at the club from Semey. Mittendorfer did not join one of the better-known Kazakhstani clubs like Kairat or Astana, but instead joined Elimai from Semey, who finished fourth in the Kazakhstani league last season. The defender, who has 2 caps for the Slovenia U19 team, has signed a contract until the end of December 2027 and has a current market value of €500k, according to Transfermarkt.
