Borac Banja Luka, a team from Bosnia, and KuPS, a Finnish side, face each other in the UEFA Europa Conference League league phase. This match is part of the competition that features 36 teams in total.

In the league phase, only the top eight teams avoid the elimination play-off. The remaining teams need to go through that additional round to advance in the competition.

The encounter between the Bosnians and the Finns is part of the race for one of the spots in the top 8, which would guarantee direct access to the round of 16 without the need for a prior elimination round.
