As visiting fans will be banned for entering stadia, the club would pay the price of not having income from entry papers.

An annual competition squeezed in between

Starting from the second part of this month the penultimate elimination hurdle will end of the three European club competitions. And since all duels are second legs (unless otherwise stated) some of them may be prolonged even longer depending on the results from this week. But what is interesting enough is that one yearly game changes the fate of plays of one competition.

Tuesday, 15 August at 19.00 CEt: Aris (Limassol) - Rakow.
