Another participant in the first qualifying round of the Europa League, which will also be attended by the Azerbaijani club, has been determined.
Idman.biz reports that Moldova will be represented by "Sheriff" in the continent's second-tier tournament.
The Tiraspol club will be among the seeded teams in the draw. This means that "Sheriff" will once again be a possible opponent for the Azerbaijani club.
The Tiraspol team, which defeated "Zira" in the penalty shootout in the first qualifying round of the Europa League last summer, may come to Baku again. In this tournament, our country will be represented by either "Zira" or "Sabah".
In total, 8 of the 16 participants in the stage are known. Five of them are potential rivals of our representative.
