Dundee United will face FC UNA Strassen in the second qualifying round of the Europa Conference League.
The Tangerines, returning to continental competition following their fourth-placed finish in the Premiership last term, saw their potential opponents whittled down to five possible ties on Tuesday morning.
However, the Terrors officially learned their fate at the draw in Switzerland on Wednesday afternoon, with Arno Bonvini’s side picked from the hat.

Strassen finished second in the Luxembourg top-flight last season to earn their place in the draw.
United will almost certainly play the first leg at home on July 24, before the away leg a week later. However, that is subject to change in the unlikely event of city clashes or venue unavailability.
The Tangerines are returning to Europe for the first time since crashing out to a 7-1 aggregate defeat against AZ Alkmaar in 2022. They last progressed from a continental tie in 1997, beating Andorran minnows Principat 17–0 over two legs.
