NK Varaždin Returns to Europe: Šafarić Prepares Team for Portuguese Opponents

NK Varaždin returns to Europe after 14 years and faces Portuguese team Santa Clara. Nikola Šafarić, the coach of NK Varaždin, is preparing the team for this important match.

How did this match come about?

NK Varaždin qualified for the second preliminary round of the Conference League last season. Šafarić said that this is a big challenge for his team.

Who will play for NK Varaždin?

On the right wing, we will likely see Petar Bočkaj, who arrived in Varaždin after terminating his contract with Dinamo. Next to him on the ten position should be Leon Belcar, who returned from Maksimir.

The match will be played at the Varteks stadium, and the western tribune is almost sold out. Šafarić said that his team will do everything to achieve the best possible result.
