Greek football club Panathinaikos and Czech side Hradec Králové are prioritizing their Conference League qualification tie by postponing domestic league matches. The first leg of their crucial qualifier is set for August 20 at Athens Olympic Stadium, followed by the return match in the Czech Republic on August 27.

Panathinaikos had already secured a postponement for their August 23 league game against Kifisia to better prepare for the European fixture. Hradec Králové followed suit, successfully rescheduling two of their Czech league encounters. Their matches against Zbrojovka Brno, initially set for August 16, and Viktoria Plzeň on August 23, have been moved.

This strategic scheduling allows the Czech team more time to prepare for the decisive clashes with Panathinaikos. Advancing to the Conference League League Phase is a primary objective for both clubs, making these postponements a key element in their preparation.
