Everything was ready (except the field, obviously) for the spectacle under Gorica, Budućnost dreamed of another beautiful European night at the stadium where they have been playing for decades, and then, just two days before the match, everything changed.
Uefa decided to suspend the pitch of our biggest stadium due to the desperate pitch, so the "blue and white" will seek passage to the 3rd round of the Conference League qualification against CSKA 1948 at the "DG Arena".
Everything about the organization of the match caught the club from Podgorica in some way.
"Honestly, much greater efforts will be needed, especially since we are forced to change the stadium 48 hours before the match - in short, everything is more difficult," said the executive director of Budućnost, Novak Novaković, to "Vijesti".
The future loses the most because of the small number of seats in the stands of the stadium in Donja Gorica. The second, new and larger one is not yet in operation.
"With a capacity of 1.500 seats, we are somewhat backward and in a certain deficit, because we hoped that eight to ten thousand people would follow us at the stadium under Gorica. The fans could have been our 12th player - it was seen against Mališeva. Such euphoria, energy and cheering from the north and west have not been seen for a long time," Novaković pointed out.
Changing the venue of the match also complicates training sessions, so that neither Budućnost nor CSKA 1948 will feel the surface of the "DG Arena" until the match starts.
"Unfortunately, that's how it is, there were no official training sessions, because tonight the Sailor is playing at that stadium".
What is the situation with the tickets?
"Now everything is more complicated... Tickets will be sold tomorrow (Thursday) from 10 a.m. to 14 p.m. at our ticket office - whatever is available will be put up for sale," says Novaković.
DON'T MISS IT
Tickets cost five euros, and everything sold goes to charity...
"Yes, the entire amount goes to the treatment of the boy Feđa Alković. We are sorry for him that we are not playing under Gorica, because we could donate much more that way," said the Executive Director of the Blue and Whites.
If there is a good thing, it is that CSKA 1948 does not have a large fan base.
"According to the information I have, they will not be in the 'DG Arena' stands, and the delegation that arrived in Podgorica included ten friends of the club," explained Novaković.
Because of the situation with the field, maybe Buducnost was thinking of playing in the "DG Arena" in the championship as well, until the surface under Gorica is that much better?
"We don't want to think about it, because it would be a total debacle to play in Donja Gorica next to our stadium. We will try to help the people from the sports facilities, if there is a lack of manpower or expertise, so that the field near Gorica would be better," he concluded. Novakovic.
The match Budućnost - CSKA 1948 will be played on Thursday at 21:XNUMX, and it will be led by a referee from Slovakia with the interesting surname of Michal Očenaš.
