Violets in the Youth League against Maccabi Haifa

Austria Wien will face Israeli champions Maccabi Haifa in the second round of the UEFA Youth League. The first leg will take place on Wednesday, October 22, in Vienna, with the return leg scheduled for Wednesday, November 5. Information about the venues and ticket sales will follow shortly.

As champions of the 2024/25 ÖFB Youth League, the Violets will also compete in the UEFA Youth League in the so-called Champions Path, which runs over three rounds. Austria will enter in the second round and face Maccabi Haifa on October 22 and November 5, with the first leg taking place in Vienna.

If they advance, Max Uhlig's team will face the winner of the FC Nantes vs. Sabah FK match. While Sabah won the championship in Azerbaijan, Nantes moved up as runner-up because Paris Saint-Germain had already qualified for the league phase.

The ten remaining clubs will then be grouped with the 22 best clubs from the league phase. In the round of 32, consisting of only one match, the clubs in places 1 to 6 will face those in places 17 to 22. The clubs in places 7 to 16 will compete against the ten clubs remaining from the Champions Path. This will be followed by an open draw until the final.
