UEFA European Football Forum

In Kosovo, Liria is already confirmed to be relegated, and we might have our second team, Fushë Kosova , confirmed this week as well. Both clubs were just promoted last season but sadly couldn't handle the level of Superliga. This is becoming a concerning trend in Kosovo football, as every season a...

Vitesse lost again today. They need at least 5 points in the remaining 6 games to reach the promotion/relegation play-off. Also major financial troubles in Arnhem. They played in ECL in 2021/2022 and reached the round of 16. It hasn't been mentionned, but with a 18 points penalty, Vitesse is offici...

I mostly disagree with you both for the top 3. With the pots being "useless" now, seeding only matters in qualifying rounds. So the 2nd EL spot and the ECL spot need to be taken by teams who will survive in the qualfiers. For me, the best would be Gent and Brugge, but I doubt Brugge will f...

OM was nothing special. In one way a defeat for benfica its always good, on the other way, if they have won they would be more keen to keep this *great* coach. It will be a pitty if he leaves. Yes, Marseille is so up and down in eyrope fixtures but somehow they have managed to survive again. In Lig...

England is almost out of the race for the EPS.

If: Real - Barelona - Atlético win: Spain 3x2+3 = 9 points (1.125 coefficient) West Ham - Leverkusen is a draw Bayern - Arsenal is a draw (Arsenal qualifies): Germany 2x1 + 1 = 3 points (0.428 coefficient) Liverpool and Aston Villa loses (Lille qualifies): England 2x1 +1 = 3 points (0.375 coefficien...

I’m not saying that Liverpool will advance, but I will say that they far from out. Anything is possible, but I can't remember if ever happened losing by 3 goals at home and turned it around? I remember some Romanian team losing 3-0 off the ground and turning it around on the second leg, was it Dina...

Liverpool out, Leverkusen with a feet in semis. Good away win for Roma and minimal win for benfica I’m not saying that Liverpool will advance, but I will say that they far from out. Anything is possible, but I can't remember if ever happened losing by 3 goals at home and turned it around? Round of ...

not all UEFA teams are European (Israel, Kazakhstan, Armenia) and others only partly (Spain, Greece, Italy, Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iceland, Portugal (?)). Also Malta (on the African plate) and Cyprus (Asia) are technically not European. Spain, Greece, Portugal and Italy are mainly in ...

The expected coefficients tab was added at both spreadsheets. We can see there the expected boost of the top countries (currently 4 countries are expected to get over 20 coefficient at next season). Since this model is actually underestimating the performance of top countries cause at these countri...

First of all this is very theoretic. It's more than 25 years ago that a country outside the top 10 scored one of the top 2 season coefficients. Just a quick correction: Romania reached top 10 in 2006, but for the following season, they were still using the entry list for a country ranked 25th. Also...

If I understood the regulations correctly, Ajax should no longer be at the top of the provisional ECL-W rebalancing ranking on this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z-D8j_XDzy7DE5dVnvyVMC10U0wgLSZCWy8Ui1cQ8t0/edit#gid=632987334, because they are not in the position of the Cup winner no...

Surprise win by Wales over Finland. The ticket now has Polands name written all over it path B already had Ukraines name written all over it and they already took the hardest hurdle now. Georgia - Greece is a 50/50 for me I mostly disagree. Wales was competitive against Turkey and Croatia, they los...

So am I understanding correctly that if, for example, Fiorentina wins the Conference League this season and also occupies the ECL spot in Serie A, then the team behind them in the League will inherit Italy's ECL spot and granting them an extra team? No. UECL 3.08 The UEFA Conference League titlehol...

Now that the rules are given into the hands of lawyers they are even more difficult to read :grin1: Too much redundancy. Personally I doubt that there should be any difference in the EL regulations between the text in paragraph 3.09c and 3.10b. I expect that the text of 3.10b is the correct text, s...
