Slovan Bratislava Champions League campaign

Entities: DAC Dunajská Streda · Iberia 1999 Tbilisi · Yaya Touré · ŠK Slovan Bratislava · AIF Mjällby

Overview

Former international star Yaya Touré began his tenure at Slovak champions Slovan Bratislava with a 3‑2 pre‑season win over Pafos on 16 July, followed by a 2‑0 victory in the first leg of the second‑qualifying round against Iberia Tbilisi on 20 July. After a brief injury to striker Andraž Šporar, Slovan entered the return match in Tbilisi determined to progress.

On 29 July, Slovan secured a 1‑1 draw in the second leg, with an early goal from Mykola Kucharevič and a second‑half equaliser from Iberia. The aggregate 3‑1 win propelled the club into the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, guaranteeing at least a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage. Touré praised the squad’s mental strength despite lineup changes caused by injuries.

The club’s next opponent will be Swedish champions AIF Mjällby, with the first leg slated for early August and the return leg on 11 August at the Tehelné pole stadium. After the match, Touré reiterated higher ambitions for the campaign.

In the same round of European qualifiers, fellow Slovak side DAC Dunajská Streda earned a place in the UEFA Conference League third qualifying round by defeating Bosnian club Velež Mostar 3‑0, highlighting the broader progress of Slovak clubs in continental competitions.
