Hapoel Beer Sheva Europa League venue relocation

Overview

The UEFA Europa League schedule for the 2026/2027 season has been finalized, including a matchup between Dinamo Zagreb and Hapoel Beer Sheva scheduled for September 16, 2026. Due to security concerns in Israel, Hapoel Beer Sheva is required to play its home matches at the Giulești Stadium in Bucharest, Romania.

The selection of the Bucharest venue has faced criticism regarding the condition of the playing surface. Daniel Pancu, coach of Rapid Bucharest, described the pitch quality as being at the level of a “third or fourth division league” and labeled the situation “shameful.”

Both clubs enter their upcoming fixture following recent losses in their respective domestic leagues.
