[Football] Who will qualify for the 2023-24 UEFA Europa League?

[Lewes Punk]

AIK is in Stockholm!!

Think it's IFK we're thinking of in Gothenburg. Stadium only holds about 18,000 I believe

Yep, sorry I meant IFK.

That’s Gamla (old) Ullevi where IFK play most matches. (New) Ullevi holds c45k- Ive seen England play there and it’s where Göteborg play their big games. Walked around outside of both the other week- about 400 yards apart!

Delighted that Aberdeen are out. I wish Rangers were too. All our lives we've waited for the miracle of European football: I don't want to go to bloody SCOTCHLAND.

Absolutely bloody this!!!!

Brighton & Hove Albion's journey in the Europa League begins!
Here is the full list of teams who have qualified for the competition:


What you need to know:
- We cannot draw a club from the same football association (England) so that will mean no Liverpool or West Ham in the group stage.
- We cannot draw a club from the same pot (three) so that will mean no Molde, Sheriff Tiraspol, Union SG, Freiburg, Sparta Prague, Maccabi Haifa or Sturm Graz.
- A team from each of the other pots (one, two & four) will be selected as our opponents in the Europa League draw, tomorrow at midday, so who will you want?

Pot 4 is intense!!

Dream group all?

Ah thanks - didn't realise that. Would Haeken likely play there in Europe?

 

[Krafty]

Dream group all?

Gosh, there are so many good options!
Pot 1: AS Roma (ITA) or Leverkusen (GER)
Pot 2: Sporting CP (POR) or Slavia Prague (CZE)
Pot 4: Panathinaikos (GRE)

It's easier to pick a shit group you don't want:

1) Obviously Rangers. Scotch, sectarian, piss flowing the streets of Brighton for about 4 days.
2) Qarabag, Flair draw, but who's seriously going there?
4) TSC. Who?


I'd take
1) Anyone but Rangers. Perhaps not Leverkusen because of the lack of tickets
2) Any from the top 5
4) Not TSC or Rakov.

Last time I was in Bulgaria I got mugged off with the equivalent of a Serbian 20p as a note so I’d go to TSC to make sure I can spend it

Leverkusen
Betis
Athens

 

[US Seagull]

So winning the Europa conference last year not only puts West Ham automatically in to the Europa League, but it automatically puts them in pot 1?

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Rangers in Pot 1.

That has to be the best draw for us getting out of the group.

Qarabag and Hacken are my other choices.

Group of life.

 

[HangletonGull]

I don’t usually ask for anything but please please please can I have either Roma or Rangers

 

[Gwylan]

3 in 8 chance!

3 in 16, they're spread over two groups

 

[patchamalbion]

But they can’t be in the same group as one another.

It has been a busy day, but I might as well do a final report on the qualifying matches - this time, the Europa League play-offs.
Today, we now know the last 10 qualifiers for the 2023-24 UEFA Europa League as they won their play-off matches!

So who are they?

• Slavia Prague (Czechia) won on aggregate against Zorya Luhansk (Ukraine) despite losing 2-1 away in the second leg.
• Olympiacos (Greece) won 6-1 on aggregate against Cukaricki (Serbia) with an impressive 3-0 away win today - there are three teams from Athens now in Europa!
• Union Saint-Gilloise (Belgium) owned by a certain Tony Bloom won 1-0 away at Lugano (Switzerland) for a cheeky 3-0 aggregate win.
• Ajax (Netherlands) lost 1-0 at home to Ludogorets Razgrad (Bulgaria) today but that didn't matter as they still progress as 4-2 aggregate winners!
• BK Hacken (Sweden) is continuing the enjoyable Scottish curse as they won away to Aberdeen 3-1 and 5-3 on aggregate.
• LASK (Austria) drew 1-1 at home against Zrinjski Mostar (Bosnia & Herzegovina) but that was enough as they progress with a 3-2 aggregate win.
• Sheriff Tiraspol (Moldova) defeated the resilient Klaksvik (Faroe Islands) with a 2-1 home win and therefore a 3-2 aggregate victory.
• Qarabag (Azerbaijan) drew 1-1 away at Olimpija Ljubljana (Slovenia) to secure their spot as they advance 3-1 aggregate winners.
• Aris Limassol (Cyprus) won 6-2 at home to Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia) in an incredible aggregate comeback of 7 goals to 4.
• But, Sparta Prague was the story of the day! They were losing 3-1 on aggregate in the first leg but an amazing second leg comeback at home, where they would beat Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) by 4-1 would book their place in the Europa League groups - winning 5-4 on aggregate!

As always, the list of qualified teams will be recorded on post #1 of this thread.
But if you want to see them in their respective pots (Brighton are in pot three) then check post #366

I really don't want them here either.

Nope, as PatchamAlbion said!
