The media service Megogo will broadcast the first leg match between Freiburg and West Ham online on March 7, 2024. Freiburg have achieved their record performance for the second consecutive year. Last season, the Red and Whites also reached the round of 16 but failed to progress against Juventus (0-1, 0-2). Prior to that, their highest achievement in European competitions was reaching the round of 16 in the UEFA Cup 2001/02 season. Back then, the Brazilians from Breisgau put up a fight against Feyenoord but were eliminated from the playoff stage (2-2, 0-1).

West Ham have also reached this stage for only the second time in its history. Just two years ago, the Hammers successfully navigated through the upcoming round, defeating Sevilla (0-1, 2-0 after extra time). West Ham have never been eliminated in the round of 16 of European competitions. On four occasions, the London-based team progressed to this stage in the Cup Winners' Cup, and last year, they did so in the Conference League.
