Lots of hustle and bustle about Europe at 1. FC Köln!
After the possible opponents of 1. FC Köln in the playoffs became known in the draw for the UEFA Conference League on Tuesday (2 August 2022), there is now a possible question mark over the games on 18 and 25 August 2022.
1. FC Köln: Possible opponents have been determined
Fehérvár FC from Hungary or FC Petrocub Hincesti from Moldova – these are the possible opponents of 1. FC Köln in the playoffs for the Conference League. The team coached by Steffen Baumgart (50) must prevail in the first and second leg in order to realize the dream of Europe.
The atmosphere in the Rhein-Energie-Stadion should help, regardless of the opponent. The draw made it clear: FC will play the first leg on August 18 in front of their home crowd and have to go to Hungary or Moldova in the second leg – but that is not guaranteed.
Because if the case occurs that two Moldovan clubs qualify for the playoffs in Europa and Conference League, FC could lose their home advantage in the first leg.
1. FC Köln: Uncertainty about the European home game
Should FC Petrocub Hincesti qualify for the UEFA Europa Conference League playoffs and FC Sheriff Tiraspol slip into the Europa League playoffs at the same time, FC would probably not celebrate their European comeback at the RheinEnergie Stadium until August 25th.
