The saga continues: UEFA takes the priority for cup winners very precisely. They promote only cup winners to re-balance the Europa Conference League for the empty spot of Villarreal in the play-off round. The access list will be re-balanced as follows: The cup winner of Switzerland (FC Luzern) and Greece (PAOK Thessaloniki) move from ECL-Q2 to ECL-Q3, The cup winners of Slovenia (Olimpija Ljubljana), Hungary (Újpest TE), Luxembourg, and Lithuania (FK Panevezys) move from ECL-Q1 to ECL-Q2. The decision was taken this morning. Therefore the new important days for us are now: July 19: Third qualifying round draw August 2: Play-off round draw August 5/12: Third qualifying round August 19/26: Play-off August 26: Group stage draw September 16: Group stage, Matchday 1 And this gives us two more weeks of preparation and possible friendlies against better opponents
