Vilnius residents traveled to Podgorica on Wednesday to conduct the final rehearsal for their upcoming match. This relocation was necessary because the local Petrovac home stadium does not meet the current UEFA requirements for competition. Consequently, the quarterfinal match scheduled for Thursday evening will take place at the Podgorica stadium, which also serves as the national team’s primary venue for home games in Montenegro.
In response to inquiries from the media, team head coach Andrius Skerla and goalkeeper Vincentas Šarkauskas addressed the expected opposition. Coach Skerla indicated that the team anticipated facing a highly disciplined and physically demanding opponent. He specifically noted the technical quality of the opposing defense as a key factor to prepare for.
The decision to shift the venue underscores adherence to international sporting standards, ensuring the playing surface and facilities meet UEFA specifications. The move consolidates the team’s preparations within a recognized, established stadium within Montenegro. This adjustment means that both the final practice session and the crucial quarterfinal match will be hosted at the same location.
The focus remains on adapting to the venue while maintaining high performance levels against a skilled opponent.
