NEW YORK – It’s been just four months since Antonio Delamea left his native Slovenia to embark upon a new challenge with the New England Revolution in Major League Soccer, but that decision is already paying dividends for the 25-year-old center back.
Delamea, who has been a revelation while playing every minute of the Revolution’s first 13 games, has continued to catch the eye of Slovenia national team head coach Sreu010dko Katanec, and will soon join the full national squad for a World Cup Qualifier against Malta on June 10.
It’s a second call-up for Delamea, who made his senior debut with Slovenia in a friendly against Poland last November, when he was also in the squad for another World Cup Qualifier against Malta.
