7 of the 16 participants in the first qualifying round of the Europa League, in which Azerbaijan will also be represented, are known.
Idman.biz reports that 3 possible opponents of our representative, who will be in the unseeded pot during the draw, have been determined.
If "Sabah" wins the national cup, they will go to the continent's 2nd-tier club tournament. If the award goes to "Qarabag", "Zira" will again go to the Europa League.
Regardless of which of the Baku clubs participates in the competition, it will not be seeded. Therefore, our team is waiting for a strong opponent.
Three of the 8 seeded teams have been determined. These are "Shakhtar", "Legia" and CFR. "Celje", "Paksi" and Trnava's "Spartak", which look relatively weak, can also join the possible opponents. The pot of these three teams has not yet been determined.
