The entire team jetted out of Ben Gurion Airport this morning and travelled directly to Nice where they will hold the pre-match press conference followed by the final practice session at the Allianz Riviera stadium. Opened in 2013, the 35,600 capacity stadium which will host Thursday’s match (21:00) was one of the venues for the Euro in 2016.
Maccabi will arrive in Nice on the back of Sunday’s 5-0 victory over newly promoted side Maccabi Bnei Reineh while the hosts suffered a 1-0 defeat in the league away to Clermont. The winner of the tie will advance to the Conference league group stage with the draw taking place in Istanbul on Friday (15:00)
