Dear colleagues,
Due to the forecasted rainy weather, we have changed the football game venue from the open stadium in Nemunas and Neris Confluence Park to the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Sports Center. The matches will take place indoors so that players and supporters can fully enjoy the event regardless of the weather.
All players and supporters are kindly asked to gather at the venue lobby (S. Daukanto St. 28). A bus will transport participants from the university to the Sports Center and back after the game. The bus will depart at 18:30.
Please bring white or red shirts, indoor sports shoes, and a good mood.
If you have any questions, please contact Eglė Juškevičiūtė, egle.juskeviciute@lsmu.lt
