Beitar Jerusalem is set to host the second leg of their Conference League tie against AEK Larnaca next week at the Ilie Oană Stadium in Ploiești, Romania. After securing a crucial 1-0 away victory in the first leg, Beitar fans are expected to travel in large numbers to support the team, increasing demand for tickets. The Ilie Oană Stadium, home to Petrolul Ploiești, has a seating capacity of 15,073, all covered, with stands built close to the pitch to create an intense atmosphere reminiscent of the Turner Stadium in Israel.

Reopened in 2011 after reconstruction on the site of the club's historic ground, the stadium is considered one of Romania's most modern venues and holds a UEFA Category 4 rating, qualifying it to host international and European competition matches. Its distinctive elliptical shape and modern design have earned it the nickname "the UFO" among Romanian football fans, making it a landmark in Ploiești. The stadium is located about 60 kilometers north of Bucharest, roughly an hour away by train.
