UEFA Conference League: Union is waiting for the play-off opponent - KICKE
Originally, the first Berlin Conference League Party should take place on 19 August, follow the second leg in Berlin a week later. But now much speaks that Union will be demanded next Tuesday (17 August). Either it goes to Helsinki, where Kuopion PS is issuing its international games, or after only-Sultan, where the FC Astana plays. At both locations, however, other teams on European Cocal games occur; In the Finnish capital, it is HJK Helsinki (currently still in the Europa League qualifier at the start, against Neftci Baku), in the Kazakh metropolis, it is a chess Qaraghandy. Therefore, it is important to avoid deadlines. Especially in only sultan that seems to be a bigger task.
Since Qaraghandy on 19 August, so the next Thursday, in the Play-offs to the Europa Conference League either on Spartak Trnava (Slovakia) or MacCabi Tel-Aviv meets, UEFA informed the club in this case that Astana and Union Tuesdays want to play. But: supposedly, a discharge on Thursday or on Wednesday is conceivable - the clubs involved are agree to each other on an appointment. Since there is no central TV marketing before the group phase, the performance of the games should not be bound to fixed broadcasting times. In contrast, however, the appointment announcement of UEFA is. In Kazakhstan, the National Cup will play a role in the Commission's question, in which Qaraghandy and Astana will probably compete in the coming days. Then the break should not be too short up to the European Cup duels ...
Union is currently expecting to play on Tuesday. Then the time between the Bundesliga start on Saturday (15.30, live! At Helsinki) against Bayer Leverkusen and the Play-off-type game is quite short, especially on a trip to Kazakhstan. But the Ironanes after their Europapokal returns had more time to the away game on the second Bundesliga match day in Hoffenheim (Sunday, 22 August, 15.30 clock).
abundant uncertainty to start the new UEFA competition
Similar to the case of the game location only-Sultan, UEFA has informed that also played in Helsinki on Tuesdays - if HJK Helsinki fails in the Europa League qualifier. Then the Finnish capital club would "descend" to the Play-offs to Europe Conference League and there - again on Thursdays - Maccabi Haifa or HB Torshavn (Faroe Islands). In the case, Kuopion PS and Union would have to dodge on Tuesday.
The 18 winners of the preparation
Also at the Game Helsinki, however, there is another question mark: Should Hjk Helsinki prevail against Neftci Baku and reach the play-offs to the Europa League, on HJK, according to the drain on Thursdays, the away game at Fenerbahce Istanbul. The Olympic Stadium in Helsinki would therefore have to be available in this scenario on 19 August for the (potential) game between Kuopion PS and Union. However, host Kuopion PS could not answer on Wednesday when the team was on the way to the qualification return match at FC Astana, whether this option could actually grab.
It is also open according to Union, where the play-off first leg will be visible at Kuopion or Astana. If no TV station or streaming service is transferred, the game could be shown in the on-site club TV of the Iron. Immediately to the start of the new, third European Cup competition there is so much uncertainty.
