Kick-off on 19.09.24 22:00.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Brest and Sturm will face off at the Stade de Roudourou in Guingamp (home to the Guingamp club). The Pirates cannot host their opponents at their own stadium due to outdated infrastructure that does not meet UEFA requirements. Adidas has designed a special jersey for the Breton team for their participation in the most prestigious European competition. The concept and design reflect the club's history, from its founding to its qualification for the Champions League. Their upcoming opponent, who secured their fourth Austrian championship, has reached the main tournament stage for the first time since 2001.

The hosts spent only ten seasons in France's top division before 2010 and, in modern times, played in Ligue 2 from 2013 to 2019. It was challenging for the Red-and-Whites to secure a spot in the top league, let alone compete for European qualification. Until the previous season, their best result was an eighth-place finish in the 1986/87 campaign. A few months ago, the Bretons sensationally secured a bronze medal finish.

Sturm debuted in the Champions League in the 1998/99 season and has since participated in eight tournaments. The team from Graz has made it to the main round only three times (1998/99, 1999/00, and 2000/01). The Styrian side has lost five of their last seven away matches in this competition. A quarter of a century ago, the reigning Austrian champions visited France during the group stage of the Champions League. Back then, the team traveled to Marseille and returned home empty-handed after a 0-2 loss. In their last four international away games, the club has lost only to Atalanta, 0-1.
