The football club "Panevėžys" will play one match of the "TOPsport A league" against the Tel Aviv team "Maccabi." In the 26th round, the players from Panevėžys will return to the "Aukštaitija" stadium, with the upcoming opponent being Vilnius "Žalgiris."

The players coached by Vladimiras Čeburinas are currently leading the league table before the 26th round, having collected 49 points from 22 matches.

"The entire squad is ready to play. We are expecting tough but good matches, and we are fully focused on achieving a positive result. We understand that it's time to aim for a higher position in the league," the Senegalese player told the website fk-panevezys.lt.
