Toulouse have been drawn to Benfica in the Europa League knockout round play-off.
Les Violets finished behind Liverpool in Group E of the Europa League, beating the Premier League side at home in a 3-2 win at the Toulouse FC Stadium. They will face the Portuguese side in February 2024, who finished 3rd in Group D of the Champions League behind Real Sociedad and Inter Milan.
After being promoted from Ligue 2 in 2022/21, the Occitane region side won the Coupe de France 5-1 against Nantes last year at the Stade de France, securing European football for the fifth time in their history.
The knockout round involves the eight runners up from the Europa League group stage against the eight third-placed teams in the Champions League group stage. The winners of these two-legged matches will head to the Europa League round of 16 in March, where they’ll join the eight group winners.
