Adama Keita, who announced the two-leg encounter, said the squad is ready and aiming to produce its best performances this season. "We must play as best as we can on Friday and Saturday. We are excited for the start of this new competition and we want to play our best matches this season. We expect all the fans at both matches. We want a great atmosphere and two wins," Keita said.

Tickets have been released for sale and the club expects strong home support for both fixtures. Organisers hope for full stands at the Biljanini Izvori arena as Ohrid looks to defend the European title they won last season.

Coach Boris Rojevic will rely on his core players as the team attempts to get off to a winning start in continental competition. Both matches are local events for the club, and the coaching staff has called for concentration and energy across the two days.

Fans attending are being urged to arrive early. Club officials said details on ticket points of sale and match-day procedures are available through the club’s communication channels.
