Newcastle United vs RC Lens Tickets

Newcastle United and RC Lens are two European football clubs with distinct histories. Their upcoming clash promises to be an intriguing spectacle.

Founded in 1892, Newcastle United is a football club with a huge and loyal fan base. Despite the club’s rich traditions, the Magpies have endured a lengthy trophy drought, with their last major title, the FA Cup, coming in 1955. However, they have achieved moments of glory in European competitions, winning the now-defunct Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969 and the Intertoto Cup in 2006. Their appearances in the UEFA Champions League have been relatively scarce, competing in 1997/98, 2002/03, and 2023/24.

Newcastle United are a club transformed since they were acquired by a Saudi-based consortium in 2021. Unlike the penny-pinching days of Mike Ashley, Newcastle have been flexing their newfound financial strength in the transfer market. Under the management of Eddie Howe, Newcastle secured their participation in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League, ending a 21-year hiatus from Europe’s top club competition.

On the other side of the pitch, RC Lens has followed a unique trajectory to get to where they are today. Founded in 1906, the club has experienced periods of success but has also faced significant challenges. RC Lens made history by winning their first and only Ligue 1 title in the 1997/98 season. The club has participated in the UEFA Champions League group stage during the 1998/99, 2002/03, and the 2023/24 season.
