Layout made for penultimate elimination round

From the beginning of this week it was known which duels are going to connected with others when the draw was made for the third qualifying round of the 3 European club international tournaments. The whole phase will be completely played next month.

Matches from the Champions league are supposed to start on 06 and 07, while the deciders would be at 13 August. Here is perfectly clear for (only) 4 clubs that will directly meet each other (without waiting), while 8 pairs are on the stand by list with the following results:

Lincoln red imps or Qarabag - Ludogorets or Dinamo Minsk.
Celje or Slovan - APOEL or Petrocub.
Shamrock rovers or Sparta Praha - FcsB or Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Malmo or KI - PAOK or Borac (Banja Luka).
UE Santa coloma or Midtjylland - Ferencvarosh or The new saints.

Plenty of duels are expected to be staged for the next 2 tournaments who have the same date of playing 08 and 15 August while some exceptions may apply or may scheduled its fixtures even earlier. In a total mess here it is important to say that if the winners of the pairs from the previous competition are going to stay there, here are transferred all the losers. The connected games are:

23 July 2024

Hospitality stadia were announced of where a world event in six years time will be played

Instead of staging it onto one, the 'experts' of the world football organization have assigned the World Cup 2030 competition to be on three confederations (now it is a matter of time when all 6 of them would be host). How will that reflect on the play itself and if tiredness be a big issue here each one of us have to wait for 6 years, however from now 17 arenas have been disclosed on where the teams are going to entertain us for that championship.
On the African continent, the host Morocco have chosen 6 stadia. Rabat, Tangier, Agadir, Marrakesh, Fez and Casablanca are the cities that will welcome the teams. In the European part Spain has selected 11 terrains.
All venues were picked based on technical, financial and operational criteria.
What are their names, in which cities are located...all that information can be found on the website of the mentioned organization from 19 July.
