We are playing at the Montenegro Football Federation’s equivalent of St Georges Park
Getting to the stadium:
We have been advised there is no Uber in Montenegro but taxis are cheap – the ride from the city centre to the ground will take 5-10 minutes and cost around 5€.
Some local Taxi numbers (19700, 19704, 19709, 19711, 19723)
ADMISSION:
Adults €5
U16s Free
All tickets must be bought online from their website in advance of the game
Please note the following
-you can only buy 1 ticket at a time.

Food & Drink:
We have been advised there will be both food (sausages) and drinks (beer, water, other…) available to purchase in front of the stadium plus possibly at the stands as well.
Please note all food & drink purchases will be cash payment only.
Merchandise:
Fans United will have their club jerseys (purple, gold and pink) available to purchase at 35€ per jersey
Please note all merchandise will be cash payment only.
After Party:
The bad news is Podgorica is not known for a vibrant Monday nightlife but the good news is that Fans United have arranged an after party where players and fans from both sides can drink from 9pm to 1am at the 100 Manira Restaurant and Club which is attached to the National Football Stadium (the main ground in the centre of town, not the training ground we are playing in).
Address: Zapadna tribina gradskog stadiona, bb Vaka Đurovića, Podgorica 81000, Montenegro (but basically its attached to the National Stadium so you can’t get lost).
The message from Fans United is “We plan to gather both teams and fans here and make an incredible party after the game. This place is located in the city centre, at the national stadium. Entrance is free and drinks in Montenegro are affordable, especially compared to England, so I believe that your fans will have a great night”.
I’m also told there will be free finger food laid on to welcome us when we arrive.
FC United travelling Squad:
Charlie Ennis will resume his caretaker manager role for this match and we have a 19 man playing squad travelling for this one (injury dependant).

A final word from our hosts:
“Montenegro is a really nice country and we really love football even though we don’t have good results both on club and national team level. I really hope that you will enjoy Montenegro and Podgorica and that you will wish to come again here”.
