After the draw for the Champions League round of 16, the draw for the UEFA Conference League round of 16 matches took place. Participating teams were those that secured third or second place in the group stage of the Europa League or the Conference League. Several employers of Slovenian footballers were present at this draw, such as Bodo/Glimt’s Nina Žugelj, Slovan Bratislava’s Kenan Bajrić, Sturm Graz, represented by Jon Gorenc Stanković and Tomi Horvat, and Warsaw’s Legia, where Blaž Kramer plies his trade.
The first drawn pair will offer a Slovenian showdown to reach the round of 16, as Sturm and Slovan face off. The most appealing opponent goes to Bodo/Glimt, who will face Ajax, a team boasting an incredibly rich history but currently distant from their ideal performances. Warsaw’s Legia got their opponent second to last, to clash with Molde, a significant rival to Žugelj’s Bodo.
The initial matches will be played on February 15th next year, with return fixtures a week later.
