Twente - Qarabag FK

Thursday, 20 August 2026, marks the final of the Conference League qualification as FC Twente host Qarabag FK at De Grolsch Veste. Both clubs arrive at this decisive stage after navigating challenging paths through the preliminary rounds, with a spot in the competition proper serving as the ultimate prize for the winner of this two-legged encounter.

FC Twente showed their attacking intent in the previous round, dismantling DAC 1904 Dunajska Streda with a 6-0 victory in the first leg before securing a 3-3 draw.

Having shared the spoils in several previous European meetings, both sides will look to establish a crucial advantage in this opening leg.
