Tickets for the Challenge Cup final will range from 8 to 50 Euros. The first leg against Fakel Novy Urengoy will take place in Verona on Wednesday 30 March at 8.30pm.

Back from Portugal where the group obtained a superb win to make it into the final, Zingel said: “We want to extend the playoffs series against Perugia (Verona is 2-0 down in the quarter-finals). We played well in Portugal and hopefully this will give us momentum for the games against Perugia. We have to play like we did on several occasions but we have to maintain maximum focus at all time. We can’t afford to relax or lose leads we worked hard to build up”. Then he added about the Challenge Cup final “This is really exciting to be in this final. I’ve been in this club for years, I’ve seen it get better and better day after day along with my personal growth. We have some big goals to reach ahead but we have to remain concentrated all the time”.
