Racing is about to start the new football season with an exciting derby against Metz, an event that particularly excites the new captain, Emanuel Emegha. At his first press conference, he expressed his enthusiasm and the team’s determination to surpass their performances of the previous season. Emegha stressed the importance of this match, describing it as a Ligue 1 gift and a challenge to show their preparation for fans. He also addressed his own physical condition, reassuring his recovery after a summer injury and expressing the team’s overall expectation for a successful season.

At the same time, UEFA has formalized the League Conference Dam schedule for the 2025/26 season, and Racing will be opposed to the Danish club in Brøndby. This confrontation follows a game going to Iceland where Brøndby won 3-0, raising great ambitions for European teams. The return match, played in Brøndby, was a show of strength for the Danes, who won the 4-0 match despite a downsizing. This victory qualified Brøndby for the dam go to the Meinau, with the return match scheduled a week later.

Brøndby’s qualification for this dam represents an impressive course, especially after having dominated Reykjavík during the all-round match, a general surprise. Brøndby’s victory, marked by goals from Nicolai Vallys, Filip Bundgaard and Mats Kohlert, underscores their potential and determination to qualify for the next phase of the Conference League. The Strasbourg team will therefore have to face a formidable opponent, and the Meinau match promises to be a major challenge for the players and the technical staff.
