[MENTION=237799]philips_99[/MENTION] in 2006 Luch almost made it to UEFA Cup (6 place i think). Imagine if it drew somebody from Lisbon. Or Iceland :laugh:
There's even a better (or worse, depending on the perspective :laugh
But right now, apart from the Benfica vs Astana match (which I believe it holds the current record for the distance travelled to a football match in european competitions), I think the closest scenario to that I've actually seen was FC Sibir Novosibirsk qualifying to the 2010-11 Europa League, and played against Apollon Limassol and PSV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Sibir_Novosibirsk). It's not as far as Vladivostok but it's still a big distance between Siberia and Cyprus/Netherlands.
