Today at 8 p.m. the second soccer game in UEFA Europa Conference League between the teams of PFC Levski and FC Shkupi (North Macedonia) will take place at the "Georgi Asparuhov" stadium. 

Following the tension that arose at the first football match in North Macedonia, which ended with a 2:0 victory for Levski, the UEFA decided not to allow visiting supporters to attend the rematch. 
Police will monitor and not permit entry of fans visibly inebriated, or carrying prohibited items. The Ministry of Interior warns that there may be temporary traffic difficulties in the central part of the city in the afternoon, which will be gradually stopped and restored.
During the first game between the two teams in Skopje, Levski supporters were injured, one was admitted to hospital with stab wounds.
