Union Saint-Gilloise embarks on its European campaign, marking its return to the UEFA Champions League. To advance to the prestigious continental competition’s play-off stage, the Brussels team must successfully navigate past Bodø/Glimt in the third qualifying round.
Having experienced the Champions League just last season, the Unionists harbor aspirations of once again competing at the pinnacle of European football. This ambition faces a formidable challenge in the form of the Norwegian club, which proved to be a breakout team in the previous European campaign, reaching the round of sixteen in the 2025-2026 Champions League.
The initial leg of the tie will take place on home soil in Belgium, where Union Saint-Gilloise needs to establish a solid lead before undertaking a particularly challenging away fixture in northern Norway. The Saint-Gillois players are acutely aware that a significant portion of their European aspirations could be determined during this home match, especially considering the unique conditions and atmosphere awaiting them beyond the Arctic Circle.
Supporters eager to witness this pivotal two-leg encounter can tune in live on RTL club and RTL play. The first leg is scheduled for Tuesday, August 4, commencing at 7:45 PM, featuring commentary from Vincenzo Ciuro and Silvio Proto, with Anne Ruwet providing pitch-side interviews.
The decisive return match will be broadcast Tuesday, August 11, starting at 5:55 PM, also accessible through RTL club and RTL play.
