West Ham United v Viborg FF - All You Need To Know

 The Hammers are targeting another continental run after   reaching the 2021-22 Europa League semi-finals.


West Ham reached the semi-finals of the Europa League last season, but haven't enjoyed a good start domestically in 2022-23, losing 2-0 at home to Premier League champions Manchester City before being beaten away by Nottingham Forest.

West Ham are set to line up in the Europa Conference League for the first time as they face Viborg in the first leg of their qualifying play-off match at the London Stadium, on Thursday.


A final day defeat to Brighton in the Premier League left David Moyes' side without a direct spot in the group stage of the competition, while the Danish side have come through the early qualification rounds before reaching the play-offs this year.

The Hammers enter European competition for the second consecutive season, having reached the UEFA Europa League semi-finals last term, and hopes are high that the east Londoners can put together another extended continental challenge in 2022/23.

West Ham are entering at this stage, while Viborg have already got past Lithuanian opponents Sūduva (2-0 on aggregate) and Faroe Islands Cup winners B36 Tórshavn (5-1 on aggregate) to set up their trip to England.

The return leg will take place in Denmark next Thursday 25 August, at Viborg's 9,600 capacity Energi Viborg Arena.

Should we win on aggregate or on penalties, we will join 21 other UECL play-off round winners and ten clubs eliminated from the Europa League play-off round in the group stage. There, we will face three group-stage opponents home and away.

The UECL will then take a break until the New Year, kicking-off with the preliminary knockout round in February and round of 16 in March, with the eight group runners-up going through to a preliminary knockout round, where they will face a third-place group-stage finisher from the Europa League.

From there, the competition follows a two-legged knockout format all the way to the final, which will be hosted at Slavia Prague’s Fortuna Arena in the Czech Republic on 7 June next year.
