One Dundee down, another Dundee up. Giddyup!

Lechia Gdańsk in July 2022: participated in ECL qualifying.

Lechia Gdańsk in May 2023: relegated from Ekstraklasa 3 matches before the end of the season.

Two days ago fuel run out in the club bus with players inside and there was a problem with finding money to refuel.

There will be also no preparation camp for the team for same reason - no money.

Yesterday Lechia was bought by new owner, which is Mada Global. However, today they called of a friendly game, because they didn't have enough players.

Actually I'm waiting for a moment when the club announces its withdrawal and start from lower divisions.

Vitesse lost again today. They need at least 5 points in the remaining 6 games to reach the promotion/relegation play-off. Also major financial troubles in Arnhem.

They played in ECL in 2021/2022 and reached the round of 16.

Schalke 04, CL participant in 2018/19, are currently 2 points above relegation zone in the 2. Bundesliga. Club has huge debts (over 100M euro) and relegation to the 3rd tier would cause a financial disaster. It is said, that in case of relegation Schalke's stadium - Veltins Arena, will be sold.

Zeljeznicar : 10th with the same points of Tuzla City (11th) in a 12-teams league. The last two teams will be relegated.
They eliminated Dinamo Minsk in July 2023, then they were eliminated in the following round by Neftchi Baku.

Edit: Wikipedia say goal difference is the first tie-breaker, i don't know if it's reliable or not. Zeljeznicar has a worse gd than Tuzla City, so they are currently 11th, in a relegation spot.

Tuzla City played in ECL Q2 in the 2022/2023 season against AZ. They lost twice (1-0 and 4-0).

Gabala can be relegated today and even if they don't they need a miracle not to. They are 14 points behind 9th place with 5 games to go. They qualified for Europe in 8 out of 10 most recent seasons including 2023-24 as cup winners, and most notably qualified for UEL GS twice starting from the first qualifying round in successive seasons (2015-16 and 2016-17)

If Serie A ended today, Udinese and Sassuolo would be relegated.

Kukësi was officially relegated yesterday. On their European debut season in 2013 they became one the first Albanian teams to reach an European competition play-off stage along with Skënderbeu. Their last European participation was in 2021 and funnily enough they have the opportunity to return again next season since they are cup finalists!
