UEFA has officially confirmed that the highly anticipated match between Celtic and Slovan Bratislava has been rescheduled.
The decision was made due to unforeseen logistical issues, which have impacted travel arrangements for the Slovakian club. A statement from UEFA cited a combination of transport delays and scheduling conflicts as the primary reasons behind the postponement, but they emphasized that the match will be played as soon as the challenges are resolved.
Celtic, one of Scotland’s most successful football clubs, was set to face Slovan Bratislava as part of their European campaign. Fans from both sides were eager to witness this clash, with many having already made travel arrangements to support their teams. However, with the unexpected disruption, both clubs have reassured their fans that their tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled date, which UEFA is working to confirm soon.
Slovan Bratislava, the reigning champions of Slovakia’s top flight, expressed their disappointment but acknowledged the situation was beyond their control. Celtic, on the other hand, released a statement affirming their understanding of the situation, urging supporters to stay updated on official announcements regarding the new match date.
This rescheduling is one of many that UEFA has had to deal with this season, as travel restrictions and other operational challenges continue to affect football competitions across Europe. Fans will now have to wait a little longer to see the two sides in action, but both clubs remain focused on ensuring a high-quality contest once the match is played. Further updates will be provided by UEFA in the coming days.
