Atlético de Madrid qualified for CL league phase. Athletic Club are now certain to participate in EL league phase. Not quite actually. I was reading that Girona might be demoted to the EL LP due to them and Manchester City having the same owners. If that's the case, then Athletic Club would replace...

@bert.kassies i'm not 100% up to date about the CL qualification anymore, but shouldn't there be at least a scottish team in the CL League stage: https://kassiesa.net/uefa/seedcl2024.html ? Very likely Celtic Glasgow should be added in the lowest columns of your seeding list? Thanks for feedback. T...

If Borussia Dortmund win the CL final Germany too will have 9 teams in Europe? And Greece 5 if Olympiakos win the ECL final? I'm quite sure no, in Greece case, i have doubts on Germany. I didn't know until today that Italy can send 9 teams in Europe, these regulations are confusing. Germany: no, Gr...

Correct. An EPS spot is always an extra team for a country.

List of debutants so far FK Siauliai - Lithuania Is this incarnation of the club considered different from a previous “FK Siauliai” which played in Europe twice in the 2010s? https://kassiesa.net/uefa/clubs/search/index.php?search=%20FK%20Siauliai%20Lit No it is a totally different club. @bert.kass...

I mean, true this. I was given this impression as well, but my sources confirmed to me that 7th is treated as an EL spot still. All of Italy's European spots have been moved down one as a result of the EPS. So, now rebalancing is done to reflect the EPS spots, for the exception of 5th spot, where t...

Lol, my sources confirmed differently. But we will probably never know, since the chances are minimal. I mean, true this.

Only if they finish below fourth position in Serie A. If they finish in top 4 then again there will be a vacancy in EL Q3mp due to only 2 teams dropping from CL Q3lp, so Silkeborg, Rijeka and cup winners of Greece and Israel are guaranteed to start at EL Q2 But not if Atalanta wins EL, finish 7th i...

@bert.kassies Just am taking a look at your rebalance link. Just wanted to point out a couple of updates for you: - Genk and Antwerp can only qualify for EL Q2 (they currently occupy that spot). They can no longer finish higher than fourth, with CW Union assured to finish ahead of them both (Genk i...

Although UEFA Official papers name the new format of main round as League *Phase*, I see that @bert.kassies uses the term League "Stage" (LS). Any reason for this? Also, he uses CL / EL / CO as abbreviations for the rebranded Conference League. Is there any official source about this? No ...

I still think that no club will be promoted from EL-Q2 to EL-Q3, although the regulations only say so in the case of direct rebalancing (CO title holder related). Exactly and and it is logical. Maybe they will change this part of relegation too :D One more issue though. Based on CL regulations if l...

Maybe you need different highligths on art. 3.06: "In the event of any other vacancies ... priority is given to the best ranked club(s) ... of the association ranked highest in the access list for the previous round of the corresponding path." "Best ranked clubs of an association"...

@bert.kassies I want to ask you few questions because I can't understand how they are planning the rebalancing based on the regulations. 1) UEFA published a rebalanced access list at regulations and the only change at CL's access list is that CHs of Sweden and Poland were promoted to Q2. Based on w...
