The IMPORTANT thing to enter into the competitions are obtaining UEFA license, which unfortunately 5 teams failed to do so: Romanian casualties are 2 teams - the cup winner Voluntari and fifth place finisher from the regular season CFR Cluj, club who finished in second place at the regular season in Bulgaria - CSKA Sofia, Birkirkara from Malta who finished third and a team from Kosovo - Besa Peje which has won the national cup.
Each club has its own coefficient and therefore will compete in the qualifying round or group stage.
The draw for the first qualifying round of the new 2017/18 season in both European league tournaments will be on Monday, 19 June. The actual start is expecting to be on the last week of this month.
