On Tuesday, August 6, after all, it’s about time: our Red Bulls kick off their European crusade with a home game against FC Twente!Where will our adventure take us: to the UEFA Europa League or the Champions League?
The next few weeks will be everything as we will face the 3rd round and in all probability the play-offs. If we don’t pass any of those tests, we will still have a place in the UEFA Europa League.
Although we have started the league in a smart way, with a 3-2 win in Graz in our second competitive game of the season, our Dutch opponents have not yet started. FC Twente’s last friendly against Paderborn on July 27, with 0-1 and 0-2 defeats in two 90-minute matches. Since then they have been preparing to face us and we will see if the freshness of our sides or the education of our boys are decisive. .
To find out more about FC Twente, take a look at our rival research – here we introduce Joseph Oosting’s team:
to the portrait of the opposition
FC Twente have a simple task after occupying third place in the Eredivisie last season. They had to endure the wonderful departure of captain Robin Pröpper, a pillar of his good fortune in 2023/24, to Glasgow Rangers.
However, we can expect to face difficult and determined opponents. Our aim will be to put ourselves in a smart position after the first leg against De Tukkers, where we can rely on the crowded Grolsch fortress.
There are plenty of tickets left for Tuesday, so act temporarily (if you’re making plans to come) and buy price tickets from our online price ticket office to savor the Champions League at the Red Bull Arena.

The third qualifying round is part of UEFA’s broadcast deals, so TV rights are a little different than usual. Our match on Tuesday against FC Twente can be seen on Sky Sport Austria and also on ServusTV and ServusTV On. We will also provide the live text policy on our website.
Fernando (thigh), Daouda Guindo (metatarsal), Takumu Kawamura (knee), Leandro Morgalla (thigh) and Alexander Schlager (knee) will not be available for the match.
The Twente are not well known in Austria and some might underestimate them. We will not make this mistake. In fact, Twente is a well-coached team that finished third at PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord last season. They have a lot of quality. These Champions League nights against European rivals, even if they are only qualifying, are very special. We have to earn our position in the most productive club festival in the world against intelligent opponents.

Our goal is to do well and be in a smart position for the second leg. We will face a very strong team against whom we cannot make any mistakes. Our smart start in the Bundesliga against GAK definitely helped us and we saw some things we can work on.
