UEFA European Football Forum

So only two teams are relegated, not three? Are you sure? I hope Vienna will finally be promoted or will ÖFB invent something again to keep them out of second league. Yes, I am. It's three by default, but as no club from RL West seeked/obtained a licence, only RL Mitte and RL West will provide prom...

What's going on in 2. Liga? First Juniors OÖ announced not to seek for a license and thus relegate to Regionalliga Mitte, now Wacker Innsbruck - after being denied a license - stated to dismiss any leagl action and step back fom men's professional football completely. Many players have already cease...

Thank you for replying. If there was time for play-offs I would go with something like that as well. I suspect once the crazy calendar changes of 2020-2022 are out of the way we'll be back into a fairly standard format for Europe, with no available dates for play-offs . Frankly, there are enough dat...

VfL Wolfsburg faced forfeit in the fist round of DFB-Pokal this season, after making a sixth substitution before extra time. Even a forfeit of the match wouldn't put more/any real thrill to the "fight for the title", especially after shaky BVB got broken by their new rival number 1. In gen...

In second tier, Austria Lustenau (45) who sat quite comfortable on the top heading for a long seeked promotion have been overtaken by Floridsdorfer AC (46). With 9 matchdays to spare, it's a two team race between them. GAK (31), SKN (29) and Wacker (28) are too far behind and the others sides betwee...

Yes, it's forbidden and I agree with that. But just like anywhere rules are circumvented or bent. See RaBaSpo - but in their logo they can show their "sponsor" quite blatantly. Another example for infamous ridiculous German(ic) rulings. Maybe I wasn't clear enough putting emphasis on the a...

Are these real names in the table above? Yes, in Austria clubs use sponsored names. There are even more examples in 2nd and 3rd tiers: SV Lafnitz (II) --> SV Licht-Loidl Lafnitz, SKN St. Pölten (II) --> spusu SKN St. Pölten, Deutschlandsberger SC (III) --> DSC Wonisch Installationen, TSV St. Johann...

DFB-Pokal . Semifinals draw: Hamburg SV - SC Freiburg RB Leipzig- Union Berlin To be played from 4/19 to 4/20. My wish is Freiburg-Leipzig in Berlin 5/21. Clash of exact opposites. How the fortunes turn! 6 seasons ago Hamburg were the only Bundesliga team from the four, now it's exactly the opposit...

In nations league they could just leave Russia out and the group they are in play with 3 teams... winner gets promoted, last place relegated and Russia can retake their place in league B once they are allowed back in? Considering how UEFA usually handle stages with groups of different numbers of te...

It's a tournament in Bahrain.

Thanks.

Russia and Belarus can play each other over two legs in March.

Due to the suspension of Russia from the WC Qualifiers Play-offs, I asume Poland (byed to the PO final) and the losers of Sweden/Czechia each will need to play a friendly on the first and second MD slot respectively. Considering nogomet's very nice table, there are three non-UEFA teams having just o...

CONMEBOL: Round 15 and 16 scheduled 27.january and 1.february will the players in Europe be available for the nations? This is not a international window? It is an international FIFA window indeed. Europe based players will be avaiable for the qualifiers from CONMEBOL, CONCACAF, AFC (and probably a...

Is there any way that 17. position can give you a place in EL? Or even maybe 18? If Villareal finished 5th or 6th instead of 7th, there would be a gap in ELGS, so I guess that the 17th would get a spot in ELq3nc. If Chelsea finished 5th or 6th, same story. So in theory, yes. Indeed. In general, it'...
