Sporting will face Puskás Akadémia FC in the round of 32 of the UEFA Youth League, the Champions League for youth teams. The draw, following the end of the league phase, took place this Friday, December 12, in Nyon.

After six matches played, Sporting finished the league phase in 12th place in the standings. The Lions did not suffer any defeats and collected 12 points, the result of three wins and three draws achieved in the initial stage of the youth competition.

This position granted Sporting the right to advance to the next stage of the competition. The Lions also already knew they would face a team coming from the champions’ path, and that they would not benefit from the all-important home advantage in the next round of the competition.

With the draw held on the morning of Friday, December 12, the Lions now know they will travel to Hungary to face Puskás Akadémia FC (who defeated Steaua Bucharest on penalties in the previous round). The tie will be decided in a single match, to be played on February 3 or 4.
