The competition in Niš will bring together a large number of participants, and as many as 54 fights are planned to be held in two rings, which further speaks to the importance and scale of this event.
Ahead of this challenge, Bijelopolje coach Mugoša Kovačević emphasized that the team faces a difficult task.
-Despite the unfavorable draw for our competitors, we expect a good result in Niš, especially since this is the penultimate round of the league, after which the situation in the standings will be much clearer. Our club is currently in third place, but we have ambitions to finish the season in second place. Tomorrow's results could decide a lot, although the final decision will probably be made on June 6 in Ohrid, said Mugoša Kovačević, who is also in the Bijelo Polje expedition with the club's team manager and road leader Budo Radošević.
The final of the Balkan Open League brings great uncertainty, and the appearance in Niš could be a key step for BK Bijelo Polje's ambitions in the fight for the very top of the table.
