This evening the draw for the first round of the FENIX Trophy was made... and we'll be flying out to face Venus Bucharest.
Our first ever European tie, we'll face Venus Bucharest both home and away in the 1st knockout round of this year's competition.
Venus Bucharest were historically one of Romania’s most successful clubs, winning seven national titles between 1929 and 1940. They were disbanded by the communist regime in 1948, before making a return in 2014 as a fourth tier club!
Fixture details will follow in due course, but all first round ties will be played before December's deadline. The winner of this exciting game will advance to the second round draw next year.
Competition organiser, Leonardo Aleotti is delighted to welcome the Braves this year: “In the process of broadening the FENIX Trophy’s reach we couldn’t overlook a country with such a rich cultural and football tradition like Scotland.
“The Braves’ innovative ownership structure shows a creative vision of creating a community around the club, which is ultimately the tournament’s goal. They are the first truly global community club, and we are proud to have them with us.”
Who's getting the passports dusted off for this one then?
