Hibs youngsters begin their UEFA Youth League journey at Easter Road later this month.
Darren McGregor’s title-winning side will host Kosovan outfit FC 2 Korriku on Wednesday 22 October; kick-off 7:45pm.
The draw was conducted in September, with both Hibs and Korriku entering the Domestic Champions Path Second Round phase of the competition – with Hibs qualifying for Europe’s elite youth tournament after winning the 2024/25 CAS Elite Youth League last season.
40 teams – including the likes of Aston Villa, AZ Alkmaar and Dynamo Kyiv – will participate in the Second Round stage alongside Hibs, playing home-and-away ties to secure progression to the Third Round.
Advancing beyond the Second and Third Rounds would see Hibs join up with teams currently playing in the UEFA Champions League path of the Youth League as the two pathways merge to begin the knockout stages of the competition.
This is the youngsters first venture into the UEFA Youth League since the 2022/23 tournament, which saw the youngsters defeat Norwegian club Molde and French side Nantes before drawing Borussia Dortmund at Easter Road.
It was a close-run affair in Leith against the German giants, who narrowly prevailed 2-1 in the first knockout round of the Youth League proper.
Ticket information for this first leg fixture will be released in due course.
The second-leg take place in at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina, Kosovo on Wednesday 5 November, 2025, kicking off at 7pm local time.
