Balaídos Welcomes Europa League Back as Celta Host PAOK

The club seeks a reset after eight winless games by leaning on a choreographed matchday.

Overview

  • About 20,000 home supporters are expected, with roughly 640 PAOK fans traveling due to late notice, a 2,600-kilometer journey and limited flights to Peinador.
  • Part of UEFA’s visiting allocation was returned, allowing additional tickets to be released for general sale.
  • A pyrotechnic welcome and live performances by Fillas de Cassandra and Mondra are scheduled before kickoff.
  • Celta and PAOK delegations met at A Sede for a formal reception that included a commemorative tambourine and a jointly signed poster linking Vigo and Thessaloniki.
  • Vigo’s hospitality sector is preparing for a boost from the occasion, with future European home fixtures expected to attract larger visiting contingents.
