As Motherwell played their first competitive match of the season, over 7,700 arrived at Fir Park full of hope and nerves as the Steelmen looked to pick up their first win in UEFA competition since 2020.  Havnar Bóltfelag from the Faroe Islands were the opponents, with the two sides facing off for a second time following a UEFA Cup meeting in 1994. Alfred Johansson was experiencing his first competitive match in charge, and despite a number of players not involved due to injury, the 11 players selected pushed the opposition back into their own box during the early stages. Summer signing Martin Moormann blasted home inside 15 minutes to make a bang on his debut, before Lukas Fadinger scored an equally brilliant goal in the second period. The Steelmen now travel to the Faroe Islands with a two-goal advantage but know the tie is far from over.

Oscar Priestman is raring to go ahead of Motherwell's UEFA Conference League second qualifying round match against Havnar Bóltfelag. Priestman is looking to play more minutes this season having had limited game time due to the impressive displays from other players in his position last season.  Priestman says changes have been limited during pre-season in terms of style, which has made the transition simpler.

Manager Alfred Johansson is looking forward to experiencing a packed Fir Park in his first competitive match, with the new boss expecting a highly-competitive match against Faroese side Havnar Bóltfelag. Johansson states a couple of players will be assessed ahead of the match to determine their fitness levels, and he also discusses Motherwell's transfer activity.

Motherwell rounded off their pre-season schedule with an impressive and encouraging display against Belgian giants Genk. The work continues as the Steelmen kick off their Conference League campaign this Thursday.
