Unprecedented encounters for our Monégasques 🇪🇺

This first participation of the Club from the Rock in the Conference League will be all about discovery! Filipe Luís’ men have been drawn against SC Freiburg (Germany), Brighton & Hove Albion (England), Lincoln Red Imps (Gibraltar), Hearts of Midlothian (Scotland), Nordsjaelland (Denmark), and CSKA Sofia (Bulgaria). As in the Champions League and Europa League, the Conference League now features a single table of 36 teams, divided into six pots according to UEFA rankings.

It’s true that we’ve had a favourable draw, which means we’re going to play some great matches in the league phase — and that’s important! First of all, the number one objective is to qualify for the play-offs, and for that we need to work hard, prepare every game properly and pick up points. Then, if we have the capacity to go far, we’ll give everything, especially since this is a special opportunity, being AS Monaco’s very first participation in the Conference League.

Journeys into new territory (almost) ✈️

The Rouge et Blanc will face one representative from each pot, with three matches at home and three away. They will host Freiburg, Lincoln Red Imps, and Nordsjaelland at the Stade Louis-II (matches included in the season ticket), while travelling to Brighton, Edinburgh, and Sofia. Of these six opponents, five will be completely new fixtures, as AS Monaco have never faced them in European competition before. The exception is CSKA Sofia, who the Club have already met five times in the UEFA Cup and the European Cup.
