Trabzonspor host Hungarian champions Ferencváros at Papara Park in Trabzon, Türkiye, on Thursday, August 20, 2026, in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League play-off. Kick-off is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. local time, which is 6:00 p.m. CET (7:00 p.m. CEST) and 1:00 p.m. US Eastern Time. Turkish Cup holders Trabzonspor enter Europe directly at the play-off stage after opening their Süper Lig campaign with a 1-1 draw at Kasımpaşa, a match in which Mohamed Salah made his competitive debut from the bench following his high-profile arrival from Liverpool. Ferencváros have already negotiated three qualifying rounds, most recently eliminating Górnik Zabrze 2-1 on aggregate, and remain unbeaten away from home in Europe this season. With Salah pushing for his first start and the return leg scheduled for August 27 at Budapest’s Groupama Arena, Trabzonspor will look to use a passionate home atmosphere to take an advantage against an experienced and dangerous Ferencváros side.

Team news

Trabzonspor

The main selection question concerns Mohamed Salah, whose fitness will be assessed before a possible first start for the club. The Egyptian played approximately half an hour against Kasımpaşa and created two chances while operating from the right wing.

Arseniy Batagov and Tim Jabol-Folcarelli remain sidelined with knee injuries, while Ernest Muçi is unavailable because of a hamstring problem. Okay Yokuşlu is back in training but remains short of full match fitness.

André Onana should continue in goal, with Stefan Savić partnering Bruno Nwaiwu in central defence. Benjamin Bouchouari and Ruslan Malinovskyi are expected to form the midfield base, while last season’s joint-leading Süper Lig scorer Paul Onuachu should lead the attack.

Ferencváros

Ferencváros reported no new injury concerns following their aggregate victory over Górnik Zabrze, meaning the Hungarian champions can field a largely unchanged side.

Experienced captain Dénes Dibusz should start in goal. Naby Keïta and Philippe Rommens are among the midfield alternatives, although manager Robbie Keane may retain the unit that successfully protected a first-leg lead in Poland.

Kristoffer Zachariassen has played an important role during qualifying and should feature from the left, while Lenny Joseph and Gabi Kanichowsky are expected to form the attacking partnership.

Predicted line-ups

• Trabzonspor (4-2-3-1): Onana; Pina, Savić, Nwaiwu, Eskihellaç; Bouchouari, Malinovskyi; Salah, Mimaroglu, Saviolo; Onuachu.
• Ferencváros (4-4-2): Dibusz; Osváth, Gómez, Zohoré, Cadu; Zétény, Nagy, Corbu, Zachariassen; Joseph, Kanichowsky.
