This week, the return matches of the playoff round of the Europa League qualifiers for the 2025/26 season will take place. In one of these matches, on Thursday, August 28, “Dynamo” will play against “Maccabi” (Tel Aviv, Israel). The meeting is nominally home for the Ukrainian team, but will take place in the Polish city of Lublin at the “Arena Lublin”, where this season the “white-blues” host their opponents in European cup matches. The match will start at 21:00 Kyiv time.
Fans will have a place to watch “Dynamo” - “Maccabi”: the live broadcast of the match will be on the “2+2” TV channel and also on the “Kyivstar TV” platform.
On Dynamo.kiev.ua, there will traditionally be a text online broadcast of the match “Dynamo” - “Maccabi”, and online statistics of the game will also be available. The starting lineups for the upcoming match will be expected on our website and its social media pages approximately one hour before the game starts.
The first match between “Dynamo” and “Maccabi” took place exactly a week ago and ended with a victory for the Israeli team with a score of 3:1. The only goal for the Kyiv team was scored by Nazar Voloshin, while Dorr Peretz (twice) and Sagiv Djesekel scored for “Maccabi”.
During the week, neither “Dynamo” nor “Maccabi” had matches in the domestic arena: there was a break in the Ukrainian championship due to the 1/32 final of the Ukrainian Cup (the Dynamo team will join the tournament from the next stage), and the calendar match for the Tel Aviv team in the Israeli championship was postponed in the interests of the European cup participant.
Also, it is noteworthy that “Dynamo” was in Lublin for a week and thus conducted targeted and continuous preparation for the return match with “Maccabi”. The Israeli team, in turn, refused to hold a pre-match training session in Lublin.
The main referee of the match “Dynamo” - “Maccabi” will be Nikola Dabanovich from Montenegro. The VAR system, under the direction of Benjamin Brand from Germany, will also be involved in the game.
Recall that the return match of the playoff round of the Europa League qualifiers for the 2025/26 season “Dynamo” - “Maccabi” will take place on Thursday, August 28, in Lublin at the “Arena Lublin” (start - at 21:00 Kyiv time).
