"Qarabağ", the winner of the Misli Premier League, has qualified for the Champions League.
Idman.biz reports that the Azerbaijani champion will start from the first qualifying round of the continent's most prestigious club tournament.
The pot in which Qurban Qurbanov's team will be placed has also been determined. As has become a tradition, the Aghdam club will be among the seeded teams.
This is due to "Qarabağ"'s points in the UEFA ranking. Our champion has 32,000 points.
Of course, as in the past year, the Champions League can again be won by a team that qualifies for the tournament from its own country. This may affect the distribution of clubs. It is not excluded that this also applies to "Qarabağ", which has the highest rating among those who have already qualified for the first qualifying round of the Champions League.
But according to the standard - pre-determined distribution, 32 teams should play in the first qualifying round. 18 of them have already been determined.
It has been determined that 7 of these champions are unseeded. 4 teams will be in the opposite pot. These 4 unseeded teams are among "Qarabağ"'s possible rivals.
"Iberia" (Georgia), "Vikingur" (Faroe Islands), "Shelbourne" (Ireland) and "Virtus" (San Marino) are possible clubs awaiting "Qarabağ".
Another 7 champions do not yet know which pot they will fall into. Their fate depends on the identity of the other 14 participants.
