Europa League
Ajax return to Vojvodina while FC Twente meets Hongaarse record champions
Ajax will meet FK Vojvodina in the second qualifying round of the Conference League next Thursday, while FC Twente travel to face the Hongaarse record champions Ferencváros later in the same round. Both fixtures are set for late July, with the Dutch sides hoping to progress.
FK Vojvodina were eliminated by Ferencváros on Thursday evening in the first round of the Europa League, losing 3-0 and dropping into the Conference League as the losing side. The Hungarian club, the current Hongaarse recordkampioen, now prepares for its second‑round tie against FC Twente.
FC Twente begin their campaign on 23 July with a home match against Ferencváros and travel to Hungary for the return leg on 30 July. The Dutch side will therefore host the Hongaarse champions before testing themselves on foreign soil.
Ajax travel to Novi Sad on 23 July to play Vojvodina away and will host the Serbian side at the Johan Cruijff Arena on 30 July. The two‑leg tie gives Ajax a chance to avenge their 2024 encounter.
The clubs also met in 2024 when Vojvodina were the opponent in Francesco Farioli’s first official match in charge of Ajax. In those Europa League qualifiers Ajax proved too strong, while Vojvodina secured a ticket to the group stage that season.
Based in Novi Sad, Vojvodina play at the Karadjordjestadion, a venue named after the founder of modern Servië. The club is regarded as the third‑largest in Servië after Rode Ster and Partizan Belgrado.
