The Europa League qualifier will kick-off at 21.00 CET, or three hours later than the initial start time.
The right decision was reached by UEFA, considering the soaring temperatures that envelop Macedonia at this time of year. Renova kept on insisting a night game to be played due to the weather, and eventually UEFA agreed to their demands. So, the originally scheduled kick-off time, 18:00 CET, was moved back three hours. At night, the hot conditions won’t play as big of a factor.
Additionally, UEFA also named the match officials for this clash. A crew from Estonia will be in charge with Eiko Saar as the main referee, while Silver Koiv and Dmitri Vinogradov will be his assistants.
