Hoffenheim, a German club that was once in the eighth tier of football, reached the Europa League by finishing the Bundesliga in fifth place with 61 points. This historic campaign allows the team to participate directly in the league phase of the European competition.
Midfielder Asllani was the most used player throughout the season, standing out as a key figure in the starting eleven of the team coached by Pellegrino Matarazzo.
The draw defined eight opponents that Hoffenheim will have to face in the league phase, thus completing the schedule for their first European participation since the 2018/19 season.
The German team, based in the small village of Sinsheim, continues its trajectory of sporting growth, transforming from an amateur club with only 6,000 inhabitants into a regular presence in European competitions.
