Goran Šukalo (born 24 August 1981) is a Slovenian football midfielder.
He moved to Greuther Fürth in June 2013 for free. He moved to 1860 Munich on 1 February 2016. His contract was mutually terminated on 3 February 2017.
He played 34 matches for the Slovenia national football team between 2002 and 2011.
In late April 2011, it was revealed by the Slovenian media that Maribor police department has been, for the past six months, investigating an illegal betting organization and six individuals, four of which (Kosta Turner, Vasja Turner, Ivan Vinko and Zvonko Hajšek) were from the Maribor area and had already been taken into custody. The police has also revealed that two other collaborators are still at large and that one of those is Goran Šukalo (the other is former Serbian footballer Saša Simić), who allegedly invested over 1,9 million euros in the organization, in 2011, the majority of which he collected from other professional players. Šukalo categorically denied his involvement in the matter, however, it was revealed by the media and the police that investigators had been tapping the phones of the four persons currently in custody and has recorded a conversation between Šukalo and the leader of the illegal organization [Kosta Turner] when Šukalo revealed that another football player, Nastja Čeh, is still owing him 73 [thousand] euros and is avoiding payment. According to the media the police does not have the evidence that Šukalo was involved in match fixing, however, they do have the evidence that he was collecting and investing money in the organization because of which he could face between one and eight years in prison. It is still unclear, though, if Šukalo is also being investigated by the German police who recently made a search of his house in Germany, where he currently lives. In any case, it is strictly forbbiden by the UEFA, the Football Association of Slovenia and the German Football Association for any player to gamble, let alone to invest in illegal bookies. On 11 May 2011, Šukalo had his first preliminary hearing in Maribor district court where he denied his implications and pleaded not guilty. From the criminal charges, written on 49 pages, it is clear that Šukalo was betting with Kosta Turner frequently and that he has made a total of just under 1.7 million euros of bets in the illegal betting organization (54,850 of which were placed on 28 March alone).
