FCSB is set to host Auda at the Arena Națională on Thursday for the first leg of their UEFA Conference League qualifying match. The home team earned their spot in the second qualifying round by triumphing in the Romanian SuperLiga's European playoffs, while Auda secured their place by winning the Latvian Football Cup. FCSB aims to participate in the Conference League for the second time, having been knocked out in the group stage of the 2022-23 season. In the previous season, they took part in the Europa League after being eliminated by Shkendija in the second round of Champions League qualifying. Unfortunately for FCSB, they also struggled in the Europa League, finishing 27th in their group with a record of two wins, one draw, and five losses. Under the management of Marius Baciu, FCSB began their new Romanian SuperLiga season last Friday with a 2-0 victory against FC Argeș, with goals from Daniel Birligea and Florin Tănase. On the other hand, Auda is competing in Conference League qualifying for the fourth year in a row and hopes to advance to the league phase for the first time. Last season, Auda faced elimination in the first round, losing on penalties to Northern Irish team Larne.
