Confirmed schedules for Women’s Europa Cup tie
Real Sociedad vs Heart of Midlothian: first leg in Edinburgh on Sept 23 and the return at Zubieta on Sept 30.
The UEFA Women’s Europa Cup has set the dates for the round of 32 clash between Real Sociedad and Heart of Midlothian. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the tie begins in Scotland with the first leg in Edinburgh.
First leg in Ainslie Park
- First leg: Wednesday 23 September, 20:00, at Ainslie Park Stadium
Real Sociedad will go into the match aiming to secure a strong result away from home to take control of the tie ahead of the return.
Return one week later
- Second leg: Wednesday 30 September, 19:00, at Zubieta
The second match comes a week later, with the Basque side set to have its supporters behind it at Zubieta as they try to seal progression to the next round. Mundo Deportivo frames this as one of the key early-season European landmarks for the txuri-urdin.
The piece also notes that the team is looking to find the momentum it had the previous campaign, after a less-than-ideal start to the 26-27 season. In short, two dates that can define how Real Sociedad begins its continental run.
