Vojvodina will have a general check-up today before the season continues. At 3:30 PM Serbian time, in the football complex of the Miracle hotel in Belek, the red and white team will meet Shakhtar Karagandy, which took seventh place in the Premier League of Kazakhstan last season.
Football club Shakhtar was founded in 1958 and during the Soviet Union was one of the leading Kazakh clubs in that country. After the independence of Kazakhstan, Shakhtar has always been a member of the highest level of competition in this country, and achieved the greatest success by winning two titles (2011 and 2012) and one Kazakhstan Cup (2013). On the international stage, it achieved significant success by qualifying for the group stage of the Europa League in the 2013/14 season, thus becoming the first Kazakh club to qualify for the group stage of a European competition.
The coach of this team is 63-year-old Kazakh Vakhid Masudov, who has at his disposal a team whose value is estimated at around 4.35 million euros. Apart from domestic players, Shakhtar also includes two footballers from Russia and one each from Colombia, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia and Ukraine, as well as Serbian footballer Stefan Bukorac, who previously played for Proleter, Metalac and Donji Srem. As the host, Shakhtar performs at the Zentralstadion and plays in completely black equipment at home, and in completely white equipment away from home.
As for the players of Vojvodina, even though they have a game in the afternoon, they will train in the football center Titanic Deluxe Golf this morning. It is certain that Filip Malbašić will not play in this match, since he left preparations in Belek due to family problems and received permission from the coaching staff to return to Serbia earlier. The match will be broadcast directly on Novosadska TV and Youtube channel of FK Vojvodina via the link:
