Conference League draw: Atalanta take on Ajax

Atalanta and Ajax will meet in the League Phase of the UEFA Conference League after Friday’s draw in Monaco set the path for all 36 teams. Brighton, returning to European competition, face a challenging schedule that includes regular contenders Monaco and LaLiga side Getafe. Last season’s Europa League runners‑up Freiburg were paired with Czech neighbours Jablonec and will also take on Mohamed Salah’s new club, Trabzonspor.

Salah’s European journey with the Turkish side features trips to Finland to face KuPS, as well as visits to Red Star Belgrade and CSKA Sofia. Inter Escaldes, the first Andorran team to qualify for a UEFA tournament, earned home fixtures against Copenhagen, Aarhus and Romanian side Univ. Craiova. All clubs now know their six matches within the 108‑game League Phase, setting the stage for a diverse and unpredictable competition.
