The Kazakh Tobol Kosztanaj will be the opponent of the Ferencváros football team in the first round of the Champions League qualifiers.
On Tuesday, the European association drew the pairing, which the Hungarian champion expected as one of the highlights of the 1st group. The first match of the duels will be played on July 5 or 6, and the return matches will be played a week later. The FTC is starting out as a foreigner.
If they advance, FTC will be selected in the second round, as in the first round, and the draw will be held on Wednesday.
