Four Dutch clubs will learn their Europa League and Conference League schedules, with Ajax and AZ among the top seeds.

The forward makes another temporary move after spending the first half of 2026 with Telstar and will reunite with coach Anthony Correia.

Ajax and FC Twente secured Conference League places, but Turkey made the biggest coefficient gain after Fenerbahçe reached the Champions League.

Both legs of Twente’s Conference League play-off will be available on ESPN’s open channel, with the home fixture kicking off at 20:00.

The French referee will oversee NEC’s home game against Bodø/Glimt, while Ajax and FC Twente have also learned their officials for Conference League qualifiers.

The Greek club’s Champions League qualifying exit has fuelled reports that José Luis Mendilibar could be dismissed, with two Spanish coaches named as possible successors.

FC Twente will rotate from a position of strength in their European return, with Wout Weghorst and Lars Unnerstall among those staying home.

The 19-year-old defender completed pre-season with PSV’s senior squad but is now expected to play in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie.

NEC are chasing a Champions League play-off place, while Ajax and FC Twente take advantages into their Conference League qualifying returns.
