The crowning moment as of the time of writing for Villa in European competitions came on 26th May 1982. Tony Barton’s side faced German Giants Bayern Munich in that season’s European Cup/Champions League Final at De Kuip in Rotterdam. A goal from Peter Withe in the second half secured the Villan’s maiden European trophy. They followed this up with a 3-1 aggregate victory against Spain’s FC Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup that same year. They also won the 2001 Intertoto Cup.

Fast forward to last season, 2022/23, and it was a poor start to the Premier League season for Aston Villa. After losing against Fulham at Craven Cottage, Steven Gerrard was dismissed in favour of four-time UEFA Europa League winner Unai Emery. Under the stewardship of the Spaniard, the Villans’ form dramatically improved to culminate in a final day victory against Brighton to confirm 7th place and Europa Conference League Football.

To secure their spot in the 2023/24 UEFA Europa Conference League Group Stages, Emery’s Aston Villa side had to beat Scottish side Hibernian in the play-off round. It was a comfortable and emphatic 8-0 victory on aggregate for the Villans in the end.

As for AZ Alkmaar, they finished 4th in the Eredivisie after accumulating 67 points from their 34 matches to secure their place in the UEFA Europa Conference League. They finished the 2022/23 top-flight campaign just 2 points adrift of Ajax in 3rd place. In last season’s Europa Conference League competition, AZ were knocked out in the semi-finals after losing 3-1 on aggregate against eventual winners West Ham.

With 16 goals in all competitions last season, forward Ollie Watkins was Aston Villa’s top goal scorer. As for AZ Alkmaar, their leading scorer last term was Greek forward Vangelis Pavlidis, who found the back of the net on 22 occasions in all competitions.

This will be the first time that Aston Villa and AZ Alkmaar have ever played against each other in a European Competition.
