Dynamo will face PAOK in the Europa League qualifiers on July 30
On July 30, Kyiv’s Dynamo will play the second leg of the second qualifying round of the 2026/2027 Europa League against Greece’s PAOK. The match will take place in Thessaloniki at Toumba Stadium.
The match kicks off at 8:45 p.m. Kyiv time. The game will be broadcast on the “2+2” TV channel, as well as on Dynamo’s official YouTube channel and the FootballHub YouTube channel.
In the teams’ first match, which took place in Lublin, Poland, Dynamo lost to PAOK 2–3. After the game, Dynamo head coach Ihor Kostyuk noted that the team made a large number of mistakes and lost possession in simple situations, but the second half gave reason to hope for a positive result in the second leg.
The referee for the match in Thessaloniki will be Polish referee Damian Sylwestrzak. He will be assisted by Pavel Sokolnitsky and Adam Karasevich, with Damian Kos appointed as the fourth official. Piotr Lasik and Kornel Pashkevich will be in charge of the VAR system.
The winner of the Dynamo vs. PAOK matchup in the third qualifying round of the Europa League will face the winner of the Anderlecht (Belgium) vs. Hammarby (Sweden) matchup.
The team that loses on aggregate over the two matches will continue in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers, where it will face the loser of the Qarabağ (Azerbaijan) vs. CSKA (Sofia, Bulgaria) matchup.
This was reported by Ukrinform.
As a reminder, Kyiv’s Dynamo appealed to the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) to respond to the display of the Russian flag by fans of Greece’s PAOK during a Europa League qualifying match.
The Ukrainian 7-a-side soccer team won the European championship title for the first time in history. In the final match of the continental championship, the “blue-and-yellows” defeated the tournament hosts—the Italian team.
