North Macedonia: Struga won their first ever league title and qualified for the Champions League for the first time.

They have only qualified for Europe once before: in the 2021/22 Europa Conference League after finishing third. They have yet to win a tie in Europe.

Poland: Raków Czestochowa won their first ever league title and qualified for the Champions League for the first time.

They have only qualified for Europe twice before: in the 2021/22 and 2022/23 Europa Conference League after winning the cup and finishing second. In both seasons they started from Q2 and were eliminated in PO.

In PO before group stage, not the KO playoffs, they have never played in GS

Oh right don't get why they don't rename that round Q4 to avoid confusion! Makes sense IMO!

Kecskemét have never participated in Europe before.
In Game of Thrones conquerors always say to the defeated side: "Bend the knee and you''ll live". As if they weren't alive right now.

I'm smarter than it shows. Just don't want to discourage anyone.

Energetik-BGU Minsk have been stripped of their second place finish due to match fixing and denied a UEFA license, so will not be making their European debit next season (and most likely for many years to come).

Instead Isloch should be playing in Europe for the first time and playing in the ECL.

Union Berlin (Germany) will make their Champions League debut.

On the other hand, Freiburg will play in their 6th European season, all in the UEFA Cup/Europa League. Is that some sort of record?
