Go Ahead Eagles play against SK Brann in the Conference League on Thursday. It's the third European match in the club's history and for the first time in sixty years, it will be played on home soil. The match starts at 18.30 in the Adelaarshorst. Both teams are playing for a spot in the third qualifying round of the Conference League. Next Thursday, the teams will meet again in Norway for a second match. Before the European match could be played, the club still had to make the necessary preparations. To be allowed to play in Europe, the stadium must meet certain requirements set by UEFA. Until recently, the club did not meet some of these requirements. One of the requirements concerns the standing tribune on the B-side of the stadium. General director Jan Willem van Dop says that the club must offer the possibility to sit down. They have now adapted this. The stadium also has new lamps and a brand new grass pitch. The club is very pleased with the adjustments. They now have a hybrid field with field heating and a new drainage system. Jan Willem van Dop hopes that the stadium will possibly be a platform for the Oranjevrouwen or an Under 21 European Championship in the future. But for Thursday, his focus is really on the match. The last time Go Ahead Eagles played a European match, he was still too young to remember. That makes this match really special. And the expectations are good. Jan Willem van Dop thinks they can beat the Norwegians. The Eagles have trained hard and are ready for the battle. The supporters are also ready to support their team. It promises to be an exciting evening in the Adelaarshorst. The team is ready to give it their all and make their fans proud. The match against SK Brann will be a tough one, but the Eagles are confident they can win. With the support of their fans, they can achieve anything.
