“The Celje soccer team is delighted to announce that, following discussions with UEFA and its President, Mr. Ceferin, it has managed to secure a change in the kickoff time for the Europa League match against Olympiacos.
The match, which was originally scheduled to begin at 9:00 p.m. (10:00 p.m. Greek time), will now take place at the Z’dezele Stadium on December 10 at 6:45 p.m. (7:45 p.m. Greek time).
