AEK: In the Netherlands again this year the main stage of preparation – The program of the “Union”

AEK insists… Dutch. In the Burg Hamstede “Union” will carry out the main stage of its preparation this summer as well.

In particular, the first gathering of the “two-header” ahead of the new season will take place on Friday June 21when the medical tests of his players will be done Matias Almeida. On Saturday June 22 the ergometrics and the first training will take place.

The “yellow and black” will leave immediately for the Netherlands, on June 23 and will return to base on July 11.

In the next period, there will be information from AEK about the friendly matches which will give the Netherlands, while it remains to be seen how many players they will have international obligations.

It is recalled that the loss of the championship forces AEK to be in the Conference League starting her effort from second qualifying round. This, in practice, means that the “Union” will have to make 3/3 qualifiers in the summer to enter the League Stage, with no room for error as any elimination will end their European dreams early.

AEK will find out their opponent for the second qualifier on June 19 and will play on July 25 and August 1st. If he qualifies (the draw will take place on 22 July), he will play in the 3rd qualifier on 8 and 15th of Augustwhile if he reaches the playoffs (draw on August 5) he will compete on 22 and August 29.

If she makes 3/3 qualifiers in the summer, then on August 30 she will learn her draw in League Stage. It will play six matches there, from October 3 to December 19, with the 36 teams in a single standings. Those finishing in positions 1-8 advance directly to the “16”, those in positions 9-16 will play playoffs with one of those in positions 17-24 for a position in the “16”, while the rest are eliminated. AEK will start in the second qualifying round from the strong, but then everything will depend on the teams that will continue in the next draws.
