2024–25 UEFA Conference League qualifying phase and play-off round

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024–25 UEFA Conference League qualifying phase and play-off round began on 10 July and will end on 29 August 2024.[1]

A total of 152 teams will compete in the qualifying system of the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League, which includes the qualifying phase and the play-off round, with 20 teams in the Champions Path and 132 teams in the Main Path. The 24 winners of the play-off round advanced to the league phase, to join the 12 losers of the Europa League play-off round.[2]

Format

[edit]

The qualifying phase and play-off round is split into two paths – the Champions Path and the Main Path. The Champions Path contains teams which were eliminated from the Champions League Champions Path and the Europa League Champions Path and the Main Path contains teams which qualify through their domestic league or as domestic cup winners as well as teams eliminated from the Europa League Main Path.

Each tie will be played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs will advance to the next round. If the aggregate score is level at the end of normal time of the second leg, extra time will be played, and if the same number of goals is scored by both teams during extra time, the tie will be decided by a penalty shoot-out.[3]

In the draws for each round in the Main Path, teams will be seeded based on their UEFA club coefficients at the beginning of the season, with the teams divided into seeded and unseeded pots containing the same number of teams. A seeded team will be drawn against an unseeded team, with the order of legs in each tie decided by draw. As the identity of the winners of the previous round may not known at the time of the draws, the seeding will be carried out under the assumption that the team with the higher coefficient of an undecided tie advances to the subsequent round, which means if the team with the lower coefficient advances, it will simply take the seeding of its opponent.

In the draws for each round in the Champions Path, teams will be seeded based on the round in which they enter the Conference League. As a result, there will be no seeding in the second and third qualifying rounds.

Prior to the draws, UEFA can form "groups" in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee purely for the convenience of the draw and not to resemble any real groupings in the sense of the competition. Teams from associations with political conflicts as decided by UEFA can not be drawn into the same tie. After the draws, the order of legs of a tie can be reversed by UEFA due to scheduling or venue conflicts.

Schedule

[edit]

The schedule of the competition is as follows. All matches are scheduled to be played on Thursdays.[1]
