Feyenoord Rotterdam are ready to host Fenerbahce in the first leg third round fixture of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League qualifiers. The interesting match between these sides will take place at the Feyenoord Stadium.

Players to Watch

Ayase Ueda (Feyenoord)

The 26-year-old forward from Japan will play an important role in the final third for the hosts. For coach Robin van Persie, expect Ayase Ueda to be the first-choice striker. With his presence in the attacking front, Fenerbahce’s defence will always be on high alert.

Jhon Duran (Fenerbahce)

The newest addition to the team has proved to be a promising one. Even though Jhon Duran did not perform up to the standards in the last game, he will be one of the main men in the attacking front for his new team. Jose Mourinho will likely start him alongside Youssef En-Nesyri, making it a dangerous duo.
