- Report from Montenegro: Giorgos Kyzas
Our national team is in Podgorica and will wrap up its preparations this afternoon ahead of tomorrow’s (September 25 – 9:45 p.m.) match against Montenegro as part of the opening round of Group 2 in League C of the Nations League.
The atmosphere within our national team is excellent, with the players looking ready for a strong start. Of course, many are eagerly awaiting Marcus Edwards’ debut with the national team, and expectations are high.

At the same time, the country’s soccer federation, with billboards almost… everywhere, is calling on the public to come to the stadium to support their national team’s effort.

As for the weather, conditions—at least today—are excellent for soccer. The temperature in Montenegro’s capital is 18 degrees Celsius, while the forecast for tomorrow—match day—calls for some rain.
