Hibs' youth side will take on German giants Borussia Dortmund at Easter Road in the UEFA Youth League after progressing to the last-32 of the competition last week.
Having won the SPFL Development under-18 League in the 2021/22 season, the 'Wee Hibs' were granted a place in the UEFA Youth League alongside Celtic and Rangers, though the Glaswegian duo were admitted to the group stage as a result of the men's teams qualifying for that phase.
The Leith-based outfit progressed through the first round of the domestic champions path after a tense 2-2 draw with Molde ended resulted in penalties at Easter Road as more than 3,000 fans saw the youngsters progress past the Norwegians thanks to Oscar MacIntyre's winning penalty in a 5-4 shootout. That set up a tie against French outfit Nantes, and despite Adel Mahamoud's 17th minute strike pegging back Ethan Laidlaw's penalty from the first leg to level the tie at 1-1, a spirited Hibs comeback saw them win 2-1 at the Stade Marcel-Saupin to set up a tie with some of Europe's elite.
Ajax, Juventus, Eintracht Frankfurt, Inter Milan, Porto, RB Salzburg and Shakhtar Donetsk were just some of the sides that they could have faced in the last-32 due to them finishing second place in the group stage, although a trip to Germany awaits for Steve Kean's lads.
Should they progress, they could face one of Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid to name but a few. The tie will take place on the week commencing February 6.
