2024/25 UEFA club season (Champions League, Europa League, Conference League): List of qualified teams
Girona FC qualified for European football as a team from top 6 in Spanish La Liga. This will be their first participation ever.
Since the cup winner Bilbao is currently one of the teams in top 6, this means Girona will play in either the league stage of Champions League or Europa League.
And in Portugal, Vitoria Guimaraes are assured of finishing in the top 5, so they have also qualified for Europe.
Of course, both teams have ownership relations with Premier League teams, Manchester City and Aston Villa respectively, so their participation may be subject to UEFA's checks, although most likely it will be a formality just like last year (Brighton and Union Saint-Gilloise, Milan and Toulouse).
In this scenario Club Brugge doesn't qualify domestically as they are the team that qualifies for playoffs against Gent so I don't see why there is no additional place for Belgium. But yes it is weird for countries that has those ECL playoffs what happens if the highest placed team qualified for them also win a European title.Putje wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 22:40 A question for Belgian specialists!
Is it still possible for AA Gent to qualify for Champions League.
Suppose: ClubBrugge - Antwerp and Union endup outside the top 2.
Club Brugge wins the conference leage (-> Group Europa League, but no extra place for Belgium)
Antwerp wins the cup (-> Europa League play off)
Union qualified as winner of the regular compettion (-> Qualifiers of the Confederations League).
=> Gent play number two for the lowest open place: Q3 of the Champions League.
Where am I wrong? Or has Gent really still a chance to play Champions League.
Just mentioning USG qualifies for EL Q2 as RS winner.
Maribor will finish 2nd or 3rd in Slovenia, and since none of the cup semifinalists can finish in top 3, they'll start in Conference League Q1 or Q2
Hajduk qualified for the Conference League Q2. They're 13pts above Osijek and 14pts above Lokomotiva, but since they play against each other Hajduk is 4th in worst case scenario (the final is Dinamo vs Rijeka, and they're both qualified)
BSC Young Boys qualified for European football. They will finish in top 4 in Switzerland.
So in the scenario I mention What would be the schema for Belgium?dnina10 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 22:44This is false. Gent can only qualify for ECL Q2 as winners of both the European playoffs and the ECL play-in gamePutje wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 22:40 A question for Belgian specialists!

Genk UCL Q3
Gent Q2 CoL play in that should be against Brugge is cancelled and Gent qualify directly,Belgium has 6 teams in Europe
APOEL and AEK will both finish in top 3 in Cyprus and have qualified for European Football
FC Bruno's Magpies qualified for Conference League Q1.
They will finish second or third in Gibraltar, currently having 14 points advantage above 4th place with 4 matches to go.
They can't be champions anymore, since Lincoln and St Joseph's play each other on last matchday and at least one of them will be 13 points or more above Magpies.

They can still technically qualify for Champions League Q2 or Europa League Q1.
Netherlands update:

France update :
Paris SG is qualified for CL LS. They're 13 pts above Brest, 3rd, which has only 4 matches to go. Only Monaco and Lille can - theorically - catch up to them (they have 5 matches to go).

@bert.kassies In your qualifications page, you say that in Albania "Egnatia Rrogozhinë qualified for European football". However, as @TommyChat said, this season there is a top-four play-off in knockout format to decide the European qualifiers after the regular stage, so finishing in the top three (or any position AFAIK) in the regular stage does not guarantee a team qualification for European football, unless the cup winners themselves are also in the regular stage top four.

Ferencváros won the Hungarian league, thus qualifying to the CL qualis (either 1st or 2nd round).
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.
