Astana Arena will host a match between Astana and Chelsea as part of the UEFA Conference League

For Chelsea footballers, the game in the December climate of Kazakhstan will be a real test, especially considering the long flight to the capital of the republic. However, despite all the difficulties, UEFA approved holding this away match in Astana several months ago. In turn, Grigory Babayan's team will play on their home field, having secured strong support from the stands.

At the Central Stadium in Almaty, Astana has already managed to show its strength, having minimally beaten Serbian Backa Topola. Although there was talk earlier that the club would not play at home until 2025, the draw of the Conference League made its own adjustments. It was decided to speed up repair work and replacement of the grass so that by December Astana could host opponents on its field. Ahead of the match with Chelsea, the team will also meet with Cypriot Paphos (7 November, away), Portuguese Vitoria Guimaraes (28 November, home) and Cypriot APOEL (19 December, away).

Grigory Babayan noted that if the work on Astana Arena is completed, it is planned to hold a friendly match with one of the KPL teams, and if this fails, the team will go to games in Turkey or Europe.

Astana, a seven-time champion of Kazakhstan and three-time winner of the Kazakhstan Cup, is a serious opponent. Among the key players, Abzal Beisebekov stands out, who, thanks to his experience and versatility, filled several positions in the team. It is also worth noting defender Max Ebong, recognized as the best player in Belarus a year ago.

Chelsea also has many stars. Cole Palmer has been voted the fans' Player of the Year, scoring 11 points in seven Premier League games, while Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka are also standouts.

Tickets for the Astana vs Chelsea match provide a unique opportunity to see two exciting teams meet, enjoy the atmosphere of the game and support your favourite players.
