FC Hradec Králové footballers will enter the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League on Thursday, 23 July 2026, with an opening match away at Norway's Tromsø. The club is returning to European competitions after roughly three decades and will begin the new competitive season in northern Norway. lidovky.cz ↗
Ahead of the duel, Hradec were dealing mainly with the specific conditions in Tromsø, including the artificial turf and the trip to the far north. According to information from the Norwegian environment, the home fans are not very familiar with their Czech opponent, and most in Tromsø expect their team to advance. For Hradec, this represents a significant return to the European stage, for which the club also prepared by gathering information on the opponent. idnes.cz ↗
The topic also has a historical dimension. 31 years ago, one of the main figures of Hradec's European campaign was Petr Samec, who scored nine goals in three matches and became the top scorer of the Cup Winners' Cup. Ahead of the clash with Tromsø, he pointed out that Hradec has a chance, even though a demanding test awaits them. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
If Hradec advances past Tromsø, they will face the more successful team from the pairing of Beşiktaş Istanbul and Midtjylland in the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League. The very first match in Norway will therefore significantly indicate whether the club's return to European cup competition ends as a brief episode or continues with another attractive opponent. irozhlas.cz ↗
