The Champions League draw is behind us, time to list our opponents. As the other years, the youngsters of Club NXT play against the same teams as the A-team. Below is all the info on the UEFA Youth League.
The UEFA Youth League is the Champions League for the promising teams. It allows young footballers to experience top European soccer, both at home and away. The Youth League is a competition for U19 teams.
The format of the UCL has changed, so there are also some changes in the UYL. No more group stage, but 6 different opponents (including three away and three at home). Because of the format of the knockout phase in the UYL, Club NXT only plays the first six duels synchronously with Club A. The two posters after New Year's are thus dropped in the Youth League.
Club NXT plays on the same day (in the afternoon) against the same opponent as Club A. Thus, they also travel together with the A core on away games to experience the feeling of a real European move.
The opponents, including game times, of Club NXT are:
- Club NXT - B. Dortmund on Wednesday, September 18
- Sturm Graz - Club NXT on Wednesday, October 2
- AC Milan - Club NXT on Tuesday, October 22
- Club NXT - Aston Villa on Wednesday, November 6
- Celtic - Club NXT on Wednesday, November 27
- Club NXT - Sporting on Tuesday, December 10
