In the Round of 16 of the UEFA Europa Conference League, Celje will face AEK at the Z'dežele Stadium. The teams have already met earlier this season during the main stage of the tournament. On that occasion, the Slovenian side secured a convincing 3–1 home victory. The hosts reached this round through the playoff stage, while the visitors from Athens qualified directly for the Round of 16.

Celje aims to repeat last year’s achievement and once again reach the quarterfinals of the Europa Conference League, where it was stopped only by Fiorentina. To advance to the current round, the Slovenian team had to defeat Kosovo’s Drita in two playoff matches. Despite two consecutive away defeats in the domestic league following its international success, the club continues to lead the Slovenian championship standings. The status of the only team that managed to defeat the Greek giant during the main stage gives the home side additional confidence.
