His match against Vikingur for his playoffs, is very likely to take place in Denmark and Copenhagen, as it became known by the Iceland team. Copenhagen currently seems to have the lead to host Vikingur’s first match with Panathinaikos for the mid-term knockout phase towards the Conference League’s “16” as the Icelandics informed on Friday (3/1) on their official website. CORVERSE In its announcement the Icelandic team said that the first race cannot take place either in Iceland or the Faroe Islands, pointing out that “… several seats and cities are being examined: Oslo, Helsinki, Sweden and Copenhagen. The Copenhagen stadium is the most advanced option so far in the whole process, but although nothing is certain until it is finalised. But most likely we will play in Copenhagen as the situation is now,” Vikingur said in her announcement and completed: “The second race will take place on Thursday, February 20th in Athens at Panathinaikos headquarters. Our team will probably travel directly from the seat of the previous race to Greece, but it is not 100% sure. CORVERSE The first game can finally be played on February 11 (p. Tuesday) because Copenhagen plays on 13 February home (ed. with Heidenheim). And if the authorities assess the games as “high risk”, it is possible that one of the matches will take place on February 11, since we are permanently fighting in Copenhagen. Vikingur works tirelessly to find the best solution and we will announce our confirmed seat as soon as possible.” At the same time, the Icelandics confirmed that if Olympiacos ends in Europa League 9-16 positions and has his own rematch in Greece on 20/2, then Panathinaikos’ rematch with Viking in OAKA will go one day earlier (19/2).
