Maccabi Tel Aviv continued their preparations on Tuesday ahead of the Conference League 3rd qualifying round return leg against Aris Thessaloniki.
After landing in Greece on Monday afternoon, and before holding their pre-match training session at Aris’ Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium which will host the match, Maccabi held a training session at The Toumba stadium, home of Aris’ arch city rivals PAOK.
Maccabi’s coach Vladimir Ivic returned to the stadium where he played for four years between 2008-2012 and ended his playing career before coaching PAOK’s youth team (2013-2016) and first team (2016/17).
The 28,701 capacity Toumba stadium hosted Maccabi Tel Aviv on this day (10.8.04) for a Champions League 3rd qualifying round which Maccabi won 3-0 by default on the way to a historic appearance in UEFA’s top European club competition in the 2004/5 season.
