Riga FC advances to Conference League play‑off against Hungarian champion ETO FC

Riga FC secured a place in the next round of the UEFA Conference League after defeating North Macedonian side Vardar Skopje 5‑2 in extra time in the second‑round qualifier. The win gave Riga an 8‑4 aggregate victory, allowing the Latvian club to potentially face Hungarian champions ETO FC, provided Győr win their match on Thursday.

Earlier, Riga FC had also recorded a 6‑2 away win over Luxembourg's Atert Bissen, demonstrating strong form ahead of the play‑off.

The outcomes of the other ties, including CSZKA 1948 So fia's penalty shoot‑out win over Spartak Trnava, were noted but did not affect Riga's progression.
