However, according regulations which were already quoted, eps is given to the best ranked team which has not qualified "based on domestic championship". So, that means, eps would be given to atalanta no matter that they already qualified by the virtue of europa league winner. But obviously...

I really don't get this. Let's assume atalanta wins europa league. Now it is clear that top 5 from serie a qualify for champions league. if atalanta finish 4th in serie a, italy will keep those 5 teams. But if atalanta finish 5th, then italy will earn an extra spot! Keep in mind that last matchday o...

Or maybe that spot is reserved for a host team, since it is not unclear will they qualify directly

@perica So according to the CNL regulations, we already know how the qualification for 2025 Gold Cup will work. League A Teams which reach CNL finals (4 teams) -> Qualify directly for Gold Cup Teams which lose in quarter-finals (4 teams) -> Gold Cup Prelims Teams which finish 3rd and 4th in group s...

Next Nations league b and c group stage windows will be played at centralized venues.
Concacaf thinks about small nations cost.

If next season's EFL Cup winner finishes 15th and England wins EPS who gets moved up to EL? The LC-W or the 6th (or 7th) in the league who wouldn't even qualify for Europe without EPS? Edit: from the regulations it seems that the club that wouldn't qualify for Europe gets to UECL unless this NA doe...

I think more doubts is about two performance places. One is already clinched by Italy, another one is very likely to bi given to Germany. And the question is what about i.e. Roma wins EL this season and finishes Seria A at 5th place. Will Italy be entitled with 6 participants next season? Or it will...

I am not sure that speculations about 6 teams from Germany/Italy are completely true. Actually they are true if Borussia/Roma win their respective tournaments this season, but finish domestic championship below 5th position. In such case, their countries will already have 5 representatives (because...

What happens to the CL rebalancing if: 1. Dortmund wins the CL. 2. Dortmund finishes 5th in Bundesliga. 3. Germany finishes in the top 2 yearly ranking and wins an extra CL spot. Will the rebalance go on exactly as if the CL winner has already a CL league phase spot? Or there will be a sixth CL spo...

btw probably the primary reason for the bracket having pairs drawn (1/2 vs 15/16) instead of fixed (1vs16 and 2vs15) is so they can avoid politically forbidden clashes without inventing new rules. Which they'll have to do if 2 of those pairs end up in the same bracket pair, but that's very unlikely...

Spain is out because a relegation level team won the EL last year, played in CL Groups, got 0-2-4 and caused Spain to divide by 8 instead of 7. Osasuna's August elimination was the cherry on top. Next year the conditions change because of no more transfer from CL to EL and EL to ECL, and a complete...

Gold cup 2025. Any idea how to qualify? Through 2024/25 CONCACAF Nations League. Exact method to be confirmed by CONCACAF. According their ecosystem it should be played at June 2025, a week before final tournament. I cannot see how did they manage it. Now League A counts 16 teams and format will be...

If they don't blow up at euro, they will probably be at pot 1 for world cup qualifiers
