Getafe prepares for European return after seven seasons
Getafe CF will face the winner of Partizan Belgrade vs FC Tobol in the Conference League playoffs, as per the UEFA draw. The matches will take place on August 20 at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez and August 27 in Serbia or Kazakhstan. The 'blues' return to Europe after a seven-season absence.
Who are Getafe's potential opponents?
Getafe will play either Partizan Belgrade or Tobol, two teams with different profiles. The Serbians, fourth in their national league, have already started their season, while the Kazakh team, mid-table in their league, is more experienced. The draw avoided a tougher matchup, such as Braga, who reached the Europa League semifinals last season.
When and where will the matches be played?
The first leg will be on August 20 at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, while the second leg will be a week later, on August 27, at the winner's stadium. Getafe, who finished eighth in La Liga last season with 41 points (12 wins, 5 draws, 14 losses), aims to qualify for the Conference League group stage.
What does this draw mean for Getafe?
The draw offers Getafe a chance to compete in Europe again after seven years. José Bordalás' team, who scored 27 goals and conceded 32 last season, will aim to overcome this final hurdle. Their next La Liga match is against Alavés on February 28, 2027.
