PAOK departed for Norway on Wednesday morning (Aug. 26), where on Thursday evening (Aug. 27 at 8:00 p.m.) they will face Brann in the rematch of their 1-1 draw at Toumba, with the sole goal of advancing to the League Phase of the Conference League.
The “Double-Headed Eagle of the North” delegation flew on a charter flight from “Macedonia” Airport bound for Bergen, knowing that this is one of the most important European matches of the season. Following their elimination by Anderlecht in the third qualifying round of the Europa League, the Conference League is now the only European avenue left for the “Black-and-Whites.”

Andrija Zivkovic is not on the roster, as PAOK’s appeal to UEFA regarding his suspension was denied. On the other hand, Taha Ali has returned to European action after having been sidelined recently due to a shoulder injury.
The entire management team is also standing by the team. CEO Agisilaos Toumazatos, First Vice President Maria Gontsarova, Second Vice President Angelos Anastasiadis, and Board Member Marios Tsakas have traveled to Norway. Also present are Sports Director Leo Matos and Technical Director André Vieirinha.
