The potential opponents of "Sabah", which will represent our country in the Europa League, in the first stage are known. Sport24.az reports that the "owls" will face one of the following opponents in this round: Shakhtar (Donetsk, Ukraine), Legia (Poland), Partizan (Serbia), Sheriff (Tiraspol, Moldova), CFR (Cluj, Romania), Hapoel (Beersheba, Israel), Celje (Slovenia), Spartak (Trnava, Slovakia).
Former head coach of Masazir representative Ramin Guliyev shared his thoughts on the draw:
"Sabah's" potential rivals are all strong. In my opinion, "Sheriff", "Spartak" and "Celje" are a little more suitable rivals among them. In any case, if our representative intends to pass the stage, they must strengthen with new transfers. Because passing one round in the Europa League is at least to determine the group of the Conference League. That is why they should try their best to pass the first stage."
It should be noted that the draw for the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League will take place on June 17.
