Lech Poznan’s Europa League second-leg match against KÍ Klaksvík was at risk after heavy fog repeatedly prevented the Polish champions from reaching the Faroe Islands. The disruption matters because the tie was due to be played on Thursday evening, with Lech holding a narrow 1-0 lead and discussing with Uefa whether the fixture should proceed or be postponed.

Lech had tried to reach Vágar Airport, the islands’ only airport, for two consecutive days. On Thursday their charter flight was held near Norway for 40 minutes before diverting to Bergen, while KÍ advise visiting sides to arrive two days early and use Atlantic Airways due to the region’s difficult landing conditions; three of its aircraft had landed earlier that morning before conditions worsened.
