AIK claimed a narrow 2-1 home victory over Győri ETO FC in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier on August 8, 2025. The Swedish side secured a slim advantage to take to Hungary after a competitive match at the Friends Arena. AIK started strongly and took a deserved lead midway through the first half. They doubled their advantage early in the second period, seemingly taking control of the tie. Győri responded well, pulling a goal back with twenty minutes remaining to set up a tense finale. AIK managed the game professionally in the closing stages to hold onto their lead, but the Hungarian side's away goal makes the return leg a delicately poised encounter.
