FC Copenhagen's trip to Malmo is a record-breaking short distance. |
In the early morning of August 6, Copenhagen will visit Malmo in the third qualifying round of the 2025/26 Champions League. The Danish team only has to cross the Oresund bridge, a distance of 7.85 km, then travel another 19.7 km to reach Malmo's field.

According to the UEFA website, this is the first time in history that a team has traveled such a short distance to face a foreign opponent in the Champions League. This match is an important turning point for the two teams in the 2025/26 Champions League qualifying round.
The winner of the match between Copenhagen and Malmo will advance to the final play-off round, where they will compete for a place in the Champions League qualifying phase. A place in the Champions League qualifying phase could bring in significant revenue for Copenhagen or Malmo.
Both teams are desperate to qualify. Copenhagen, under coach Jacob Neestrup, are third in the 2025 Danish Superliga, while Malmo, are also in good form.
