Kick-off on September 17, 2026, at 22:00.

Åråsen Stadium will host the first-round match of the Europa League league phase: Lillestrøm — Torreense. The match brings together two national cup winners who played in the second tiers of their respective countries just last season. Both teams have made impressive breakthroughs on the domestic stage and will meet in European competition for the first time.

Lillestrøm earned its place in the tournament by winning the Norwegian Cup, claiming the trophy for the seventh time. At the same time, the team comfortably finished first in the second division without suffering a single defeat. On the way to the main stage of the competition, the Norwegian side successfully came through the fourth qualifying round, overcoming Albania’s Egnatia after a draw and an extra-time victory. The team needs to take control of the game from the opening minutes, make active use of the flanks, and remain disciplined near its own goal.

Torreense reached the international stage after a sensational victory in the Portuguese Cup, defeating Sporting CP of Lisbon in the final in extra time. The visitors became the first second-tier club to win the trophy. Previously, only two Portuguese clubs had competed in the UEFA Cup and Europa League without playing in the top flight at the start of the campaign: Beira-Mar in the 1999/00 season and Leixões in the 2002/03 campaign. For the debutants, the international campaign is a serious test, and the visitors will need to show resilience and remain disciplined in defense.
