Slavia can play here: see the modest stand in Gibraltar with the rock in the background

The European Conference League offers very fresh opponents. Even teams that Czech teams do not have the honour to play in the lowest European competition will make their way into the competition. Slavia can even go to Gibraltar, where nobody would think of going for football.

Slavia will play either FC Larne or St. Joseph’s FC in the second round of the Conference League. So fans are preparing for a trip to either Northern Ireland or Gibraltar.

The latter option in particular could be quite attractive for the spectators. Gibraltar is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom, but it lies in the south of Spain and there are constant arguments about who should own the territory.

The nearest busy resort is the city of Málaga, which lies about 135 kilometres north-east of Gibraltar. The capital of Andalusia, Seville, lies less than 200 kilometres to the north.

And if St. Joseph’s does indeed advance, Slavia will play in a very interesting stadium. In fact, four teams play their matches at Victoria Stadium, which is located in a beautiful setting.

Behind one goal you can see a big rock, behind the other one planes land and take off. The modest stands have a capacity of 3 500.

Scottish Rangers also played at Victoria Stadium in 2019. The hated rivals of Prague’s S’s took on St. Joseph’s in the first preliminary round of the Europa League. The first leg in Gibraltar was won 4-0, the home rematch 6-0.
