Europa League 2025-26

Celtic, Red Star Belgrade and Sturm Graz drop to Europa.

All located in shitholes where I don’t want to go😟

Belgrade, are you sure?!

Belgrade is said to be choc full of beautiful women.

Tel Aviv doesn't look too shabby either, and I've heard it has beautiful beaches.

We wouldn't be playing in Tel Aviv. I'd rather avoid them all together as I could see a potential Villa Park game being played behind closed doors.

I believe this is the only time an Israeli team has played in the UK since the invasion of Gaza:

Aston Villa is pleased to announce a 20% discount on UEFA Europa League ticket packages for Season Ticket Holders and members.

As we embark on a third successive season in European competition, the club would like to reward the loyalty of supporters who wish to attend all four league phase matches and, once again, be a part of those unique European nights that have graced Villa Park over the past two years.

When purchasing a four-match bundle, Season Ticket holders will receive 20% off the previously announced Season Ticket Holder price. Members will receive 20% off the previously announced general admission price, while GA Plus members will also receive a discounted rate or 20% off the GA Plus general admission price.

Seasonal hospitality members who purchase additional European matches on a game-by-game basis will receive a 20% discount when buying all four Europa League home fixtures. Further information specific to hospitality members will be shared ahead of tickets going on sale.

Francesco Calvo, President of Business Operations, who met the newly-formed Fan Advisory Board for the first time last night and shared details of the offer, said: “We are proud to play European competitions but at the same time we are aware of how much it costs supporters to passionately support their team, so we wanted to reward the loyalty of those who are planning on attending all four games.

“I’m sure everyone is excited for the draw on Friday afternoon. I’m well aware of how special the atmosphere is at Villa Park on European nights and we are looking forward to what is hopefully another exciting European campaign for the club."

I don’t think there’s any doubt that would be behind closed doors. As bronte says above I’m amazed Israel and its clubs haven’t been temporarily suspended from all competitions.

[cdbearsfan]

Yep, ridiculous. What they're doing is even worse than what Russia are doing in Ukraine.

[Somniloquism]

UEFA saw one UEFA aligned country invade another UEFA aligned country and acted (reluctantly and also with potential political pressure from European countries at the time.)

As Palestine isn't even a recognised country by most of the world, and definitely not UEFA aligned, along with less political pressure from the countries comprising UEFA, they have set a precendent that war crimes is allowed by a member, as long as it is not UEFA aligned country.

Went there once and it wasn’t pleasant but prepared to have another go if you come as well😊

Glad we're not playing on Saturday to make fancying around with flights easier.

I hope we're at home that first game in September.

I hope we’re away, my Wedding Anniversary is 25th.

Fancy getting married in the football season Chris! I ruled that out immediately.

October 26th 1991 was my wedding day. Think we beat Wimbledon 2-1.
One of the only handful of home games I've missed since.
Definitely terrible planning on my part.
Amazingly still married!

My wedding anniversary is Rotterdam day, so no excuses for forgetting. 😁
