Panathinaikos has set its sights on the next challenge in its quest for the Conference League's League Phase, having overcome the hurdle of Paksi. The Greek club is preparing to face CSKA Sofia in the third qualifying round of the competition.

UEFA has announced the date and time for the first leg of the encounter. Panathinaikos will host the Bulgarian side at the OAKA stadium on Wednesday, August 5, with kickoff set for 21:30 local time. The team will be looking to secure an advantageous result in front of their home supporters before the return match.

The second leg in Bulgaria is scheduled for Tuesday, August 11, though the exact kickoff time is yet to be confirmed. UEFA made a scheduling adjustment for this match to prevent a clash with another Sofia-based team, CSKA, which is also competing in the same round of European competitions. The decision aims to avoid having two matches in the same city within a short period.
