Aris Limassol make their first Champions League debut in qualifying round. They were first time Champions of Cyprus.

Last year it was their debut in European competitions.

Really interested to see how AC Virtus and SS Cosmos will do in ECL-Q1! I would love watching them play against Connah's Quay Nomads!

Same for Atlètic Club d'Escaldes from Andorra. Last season they made their European debut. This season they will make their Champions League debut, from the preliminary round, after winning the league title for the first time.

Isloch Minsk Raion is banned by UEFA: https://fcisloch.by/article.asp?id=%C2% ... 1ezon-3576
They will probably be replaced by Neman Grodno.

Looks like there will be 11 debutants in European cups in 2023.
Brighton
Adana Demirspor
CSKA-1948
Sabah
Auda Kekava
Hegelmann Kaunas
Dukagjini Klina
Egnatia Rrogozhinë
Penybont
Arsenal Tivat
Virtus
After 1991, only in 2022 there was lower number of debutants (9)
France has 19 years in a row without new team in European cups. Last new team was Chateauroux in 2004. This is a longest drought of debutants from a single country in history of European football

I think it means France has a balanced league. Many teams already experienced european football, so the chance for new teams is lower than other european countries.

Virtus is out of Europe due to match fixing: https://www.sanmarinortv.sm/sport/calci ... pa-a242569

So only 10 debutants.

It seems we have jinxed the debutants and UEFA doesn't let them take part :D
There is also one more club which can be considered as a debutant. It is Bohemians Praha and although they have taken part at UEFA's club competitions in past it is the first time that qualified as club of Czech Republic. The previous 9 times times were qualified as club of Czechoslovakia

Why not? Rangers fans think they're the same club

Rangers isn't the only case... it applies to many Italian clubs including Napoli and Fiorentina from Greece to AEK and Aris and probably more than half of the second division. Iraklis and Panachaiki especially must have some world record.

Dnipro-1 and FC Dnipro have existed at the same time and even have played each other in the 2017/18 season: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017%E2%8 ... ond_League

So you can't consider them the same club.
